Title: W$${'}$$ signatures with odd Higgs particles

Abstract

We point out that W' bosons may decay predominantly into Higgs particles associated with their broken gauge symmetry. We demonstrate this in a renormalizable model where the W' and W couplings to fermions differ only by an overall normalization. This "meta-sequential" W' boson decays into a scalar pair, with the charged one subsequently decaying into a W boson and a neutral scalar. These scalars are odd under a parity of the Higgs sector, which consists of a complex bidoublet and a doublet. Finally, the W' and Z' bosons have the same mass and branching fractions into scalars, and may show up at the LHC in final states involving one or two electroweak bosons and missing transverse energy.

The phenomenoogy of extended gauge and higgs sectors at the LHC

Thesis/Dissertation Peterson, Andrea Dawn

We consider prospects for detecting and measuring the properties of Z', W' and heavy Higgs bosons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These particles are all well-motivated heavier counterparts to known SM particles. Z' and W0 bosons arise when the SM gauge group is extended with additional U(1) or SU(2) factors. Heavy Higgs bosons are a feature of many models, including the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM), supersymmetric (SUSY) models, and W' and Z' models. First, we consider a number of common Z' models and present next-to-leading (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) predictions for the cross section, forwardbackward asymmetry, andmore »« less

Thesis/Dissertation Penning, Bjorn

The question of the nature and principles of the universe and our place in it is the driving force of science since Mesopotamian astronomers glanced for the first time at the starry sky and Greek atomism has been formulated. During the last hundred years modern science was able to extend its knowledge tremendously, answering many questions, opening entirely new fields but as well raising many new questions. Particularly Astronomy, Astroparticle Physics and Particle Physics lead the race to answer these fundamental and ancient questions experimentally. Today it is known that matter consists of fermions, the quarks and leptons. Four fundamentalmore »« less

Phenomenology of a littlest Higgs model with T parity: Including effects of T-odd fermions

Journal Article Belyaev, Alexander ; Chen, C -R ; Tobe, Kazuhiro ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We study the collider phenomenology of a littlest Higgs model with T parity. We first stress the important role of the T-odd SU(2)-doublet fermions (introduced to make the model T-parity invariant) in high energy scattering processes, such as qq{yields}W{sub H}{sup +}W{sub H}{sup -} where W{sub H}{sup {+-}} are the T-odd partners of W bosons. Because the mass of the T-odd SU(2)-doublet fermions cannot be too heavy to be consistent with low energy data, they can be copiously produced at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Therefore, we study the collider phenomenology of the model with emphasis on the contributions ofmore »« less

Search for the Higgs Boson and Technicolor Particles in p anti-p Colisions at √s = 1.8 TeV (in SPANISH)

Thesis/Dissertation Cortabitarte, Rocio Vilar

In the Standard Model (SM) of the elementary particles, the interactions among the known fundamental fermions (leptons and quarks) are mediated through gauge bosons which obey the symmetry: SU(3) Ⓧ SU(2) Ⓧ U(1). More precisely, the electroweak interaction [4-6] is described by a gauge symmetry SU(2) Ⓧ U(1) which is broken spontaneously. The electroweak symmetry breaking is implemented by the introduction of a complex scalar Higgs field which has a non-zero vacuum expectation value (vev). This way, the lagrangian of the theory remains invariant under SU(2) transformations, but quantization of the fields must start from a ground state which does not exhibit this symmetry, and therefore the full symmetry of the lagrangian is not manifest. Invariance of the theory under local SU(2) transformations implies the presence of vectorial gauge fields which mediate the electroweak interactions. The so called spontaneous symmetry breaking allows the quanta of these gauge fields, the W and Z bosons, to acquire a finite mass. The photon, the particle which mediates the electromagnetic interaction, remains massless. The Higgs boson is one of only two particles in the SM which have not yet been directly observed (the other is the v_τ, although there is indirect evidence of its existence). Although the SM does not predict the Higgs mass, a lower limit ~ 100 GeV/c² is set by LEPII data, and theoretical considerations prefer Higgs masses not higher than a few hundred GeV/c². At the Tevatron, a search for the Higgs boson is hard due to the small production cross section and the huge backgrounds that do not allow to see the signal clearly. It is still interesting, however, to perform sensitivity studies at the Tevatron. The easiest production channel to observe at the Tevatron is the associated production of Higgs with weak (W or Z) bosons. The Higgs boson coupling to the fermions increases with fermion mass, so the most likely decay in the mass range they are interested, M(H⁰) ~ 100 GeV/c², in is H → bmore »« less
