Standard Model and SupersymmetryStandard Model and SupersymmetryStandard Model and SupersymmetryStandard Model and SupersymmetryThe Standard Model does amazing job describing physics at the weak scale ~100 GeV, butHierarchy problem in Higgs sectorIf Higgs boson is fundamental particlei) there are no high-mass particles which couple to the Higgs field (even indirectly)ii) Striking cancellation are needed in high-order loop corrections to MHIGGS

SUSY at the TeV scale provides an elegant solution to hierarchy problem- Introduces super-partners of SM particles and cancels problematic loop corrections - Allows light Higgs in context of GUT without fine tuning

Minimal Super-Symmetric ModelMinimal Super-Symmetric ModelMinimal Super-Symmetric ModelMinimal Super-Symmetric ModelIn minimal supersymmetric extension of SM there are 2 scalar doublets Φ1 couples to down-type fermions, Φ2 to up-type fermions → Higgs sector described by 4 masses and 2 mixing angles

3 of 8 degrees of freedom absorbed by Z, W after EW symmetry breaking:

5 physical Higgs bosons

β (VEVs): tan β = v2/v1 [v12+v2

2 = v2 = 2MZ2 /(g2

2+g12) = (246 GeV)2]

•MSSM Higgs sector @ tree level determined by: MA & tan

Mass hierarchies: Mh < MZ, MA < MH & MW < MH

MH,h2 = ½[ (MA

2 +MZ2 ) ± ((MA

2 +MZ2)2 – 4MZ

2MA2 (cos22))1/2 ]

MH+2 = MA

2 + MW2

Mh < MZ

•Radiative corrections increase upper bound on Mhmax

~ 130 GeV

•Upper bound reached at large MA → SM-like h

• h, H (scalar, CP-even)• A (pseudo-scalar, CP-odd)• H (charged)

2-Mh2)]

For large MA → cos « • h couplings SM-like• H coupling to W,Z suppressed

For large tan coupling enhancedfor down-type fermions. Important for b-quarks and since Higgs coupling proportional to mass

gg fusion: dominant at small & moderate tan in comparison with associated production. Mediated by top/bottom loops (also stop/sbottom loops for M < 400 GeV)

Associated production: tt only important for h bb dominant process for large tan

VBF: important when h at upper mass limit “SM-like” and H at lower mass bound. (No VBF for A at tree level)

Not important for MSSM neutral Higgs production

Developments on cross-section and BR of BSM Higgs production: M. Vázquez Acosta (Imperial) Higgs Hunting Workshop, 30/07, 2011 - 30

SummarySummarySummarySummary•Great progress on the theoretical side which have allowed the LHC experiments to use state-of-the-art calculations forthe inclusive cross sections and branching ratios on Higgs production beyond the Standard Model

•The LHC Higgs Cross Section Group has provided a framework which allows to agree on input parameters,PDF, scale and alphas uncertainties which are used bothby ATLAS and CMS. This will make the future combinationof the Higgs limits/discovery easier

•Next challenge is to establish the best NLO MC to performexclusive selections and determine acceptance corrections [eg. introduction of b-tagging in the study of bbH production We need a bbH MC with finite b-quark pT ! ]

•bbZ observables under study to distinguish between 4FS/5FS

• How to generate (bb)H for inclusive and exclusive studies in the best way

• It would be nice to have the process gb→bH in MC@NLO gg(qqbar)→ttH was implemented recently

• Implementation of virtual corrections via MENLOPS in SHERPA for  1) bb→H  and  2) gb→bH

• Study of acceptance corrections for bbH, H→ with SHERPA

•  How to generate gg→H including b-quark corrections. So far all generators use the effective ggH vertex only. The pt spectrum of the Higgs boson might be signifcantly softer for large b-H coupling. Implement this in SHERPA?
