Abstract

The sensitivity of standard model Higgs boson searches at the Tevatron experiments with a mass 135<M{sub H}<190 GeV/c{sup 2} using the channel H{yields}W{sup +}W{sup -}{yields}l{sup +}l{sup -}pe{sub T}(l=e,{mu}) is discussed. Three new event selections involving Higgs in association with one or two high P{sub T} hadronic jets are discussed. Using leading order matrix elements and a conservative cut-based analysis a 95% confidence level exclusion on {sigma}xB(H{yields}W{sup +}W{sup -}), 1.6 times larger than that predicted by the standard model for M{sub H}=165 GeV/c{sup 2}, may be achieved with 5 fb{sup -1} of integrated luminosity. By combining these three event selections with the existing analysis, the sensitivity of CDF and D0 could improve significantly.

Combined Tevatron upper limit on gg{yields}H{yields}W{sup +}W{sup -} and constraints on the Higgs boson mass in fourth-generation fermion models

Journal Article Aaltonen, T ; Mehtala, P ; Orava, R ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We combine results from searches by the CDF and D0 collaborations for a standard model Higgs boson (H) in the process gg{yields}H{yields}W{sup +}W{sup -} in pp collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at {radical}(s)=1.96 TeV. With 4.8 fb{sup -1} of integrated luminosity analyzed at CDF and 5.4 fb{sup -1} at D0, the 95% confidence level upper limit on {sigma}(gg{yields}H)xB(H{yields}W{sup +}W{sup -}) is 1.75 pb at m{sub H}=120 GeV, 0.38 pb at m{sub H}=165 GeV, and 0.83 pb at m{sub H}=200 GeV. Assuming the presence of a fourth sequential generation of fermions with large masses, we exclude at the 95% confidencemore »« less

Observing H{yields}W{sup (*)}W{sup (*)}{yields}e{sup {+-}}{mu}{sup {+-}}pe{sub T} in weak boson fusion with dual forward jet tagging at the CERN LHC

Journal Article Rainwater, D ; Zeppenfeld, D - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Weak boson fusion promises to be a copious source of intermediate mass standard model Higgs bosons at the CERN LHC. The additional very energetic forward jets in these events provide for powerful background suppression tools. We analyze the H{yields}W{sup (*)}W{sup (*)}{yields}e{sup {+-}}{mu}{sup {+-}}pe{sub T} decay mode for a Higgs boson mass in the 130-200 GeV range. A parton level analysis of the dominant backgrounds (production of W pairs, tt(bar sign) and Z{yields}{tau}{tau} in association with jets) demonstrates that this channel allows the observation of H{yields}W{sup (*)}W{sup (*)} in a virtually background-free environment, yielding a significant Higgs boson signal with anmore »« less

Implications of a {bold {ital W}}{sup +}{bold {ital W}}{sup {minus}}({bold {ital ZZ}})-Higgs boson- {bold {ital t{bar c}}} interaction for {bold {ital e}}{sup +}{bold {ital e}}{sup {minus}}{r_arrow}{bold {ital t{bar c}{nu}{sub e}{bar {nu}}}}{bold {ital {sub e}}}, {bold {ital t{bar c}e}}{sup +}e{sup {minus}}, {bold {ital t{bar c}Z}} and for {bold {ital t{r_arrow}cW}}{sup +}{bold {ital W}}{sup {minus}}, {bold {ital cZZ}} in a two Higgs doublet model

Journal Article Bar-Shalom, S ; Wudka, J ; Eilam, G ; ... - Physical Review, D

The standard model with one extra Higgs doublet may give rise to an enhanced {ital tree-level} flavor-changing-scalar coupling of a neutral Higgs boson to a pair of top-charm quarks. This coupling may drive a large {ital tree-level} effective W{sup +}W{sup {minus}}(ZZ)-Higgs boson-t{bar c} interaction. As a result we find that the reactions e{sup +}e{sup {minus}}{r_arrow}t{bar c}{nu}{sub e}{bar {nu}}{sub e}, t{bar c}e{sup +}e{sup {minus}}, t{bar c}Z and the two rare top decays t{r_arrow}cW{sup +}W{sup {minus}}, t{r_arrow}cZZ become very sensitive probes of such an effective interaction. The most promising ones, e{sup +}e{sup {minus}}{r_arrow}t{bar c}{nu}{sub e}{bar {nu}}{sub e}, t{bar c}e{sup +}e{sup {minus}}, maymore »« less

Large uncertainties in the cross section of elastic {ital W}{sub {ital L}}{sup +}{ital W}{sub {ital L}}{sup {minus}} scattering

Journal Article Riesselmann, K - Physical Review, D

The standard model amplitudes for 2{r_arrow}2 scattering processes involving longitudinally polarized gauge bosons ({ital W}{sub {ital L}}{sup {plus_minus}},{ital Z}{sub {ital L}}) and the Higgs boson are analyzed up to two loops. Assuming {ital M}{sub {ital H}}{gt}{ital M}{sub {ital W}}, the trilinear Higgs coupling {lambda}{ital v} is dominant for energies of {radical}{ital s}{lt}1.5{endash}2 {ital M}{sub {ital H}}. For larger values of {radical}{ital s}, the quartic coupling {lambda} becomes dominant, allowing for a simpler calculation of higher-order corrections. The resulting high-energy amplitudes display a large logarithmic dependence on {radical}{ital s} which can be resummed using renormalization group techniques. For {ital M}{sub {italmore »« less
