Property measurements - mass

Importance

- not predicted by the SM → input parameter for prediction


of XS and BR
- important for the stability of the Higgs potential (if SM
valid up to highest energies)
- Further reading:

Use the channels with the best mass resolution:


H → ZZ* →4l (l = e, μ), H → 𝛄𝛄

- calculate invariant mass from 4-vectors


- photons are massless:
minv = 2E1 E2 (1 cos ✓) << vertex position

Biggest challenge: precise lepton and photon calibration

Example electron calibration in ATLAS

1. Calorimeter cell calibration, using electronic test pulses


2. Dead material/layer corrections
3. Multivariate particle calibration using shower shapes
4. Z → ee resonance

Property measurements - mass
arXiv: 1706.09936

4l measurements

- event categories: lepton types, S/B (use ME


info), resolution

- recalculate the on-shell Z boson mass after


kinematic fit to the expected mass distribution,
which includes lepton pt and uncertainties

- How to extract mass:


- template fits
- functional form
- analytical prediction per event, using ME
information and per lepton resolution

Good agreement with electroweak fits

Higgs width

Why is measuring the Higgs width interesting?


- compare to SM prediction of Higgs width: 4 MeV (Z boson: 2.5 GeV) ⌧⇥ =~
- gives life time of the Higgs boson (SM: 10-22 s)
X
- if width larger than SM prediction: new (invisible?) decay modes? tot = f
f

How to measure it?

- directly: fit the peak (dominated by detector resolution: 1-2 GeV)


- indirectly: interference effects in 𝛄𝛄
- indirectly with a trick in H→ZZ, H→WW (arXiv:1307.4935)

- Measure Higgs production rate away from the 125 GeV mass peak

onshell: ~1/width

- on-shell cross section depends directly on the width, off-shell not →


off
peak
(exp)
- model-dependent assumptions, p.ex.
=
off
peak
(SM) SM
- couplings scale the same on- and offshell
- no heavy Higgs boson signals

Width - offshell

Challenges:

- large qqZZ background


- apply MELA-based discriminant
- categorize in production modes

- interference
- 3 terms : S + B + I
- S~μ, I ~ sqrt(μ)

- Higgs width measurement by CMS:

ΓH = 3.2 (+2.4/−1.7) MeV

(compatible with SM value: 4.1 MeV)

- future: do measurement for VBF, as


less sensitive to potential new particles

Spin/CP

SM says Higgs is a scalar:


- spin 0
- CP +1 (charge/parity even)

What we know from simply looking at the decays already


- decays into pair of bosons => boson
- decays into two photons => cannot be spin 1 Spin/parity checks are done by looking
at angular distributions or Matrix
Element Ratios
Status so far
- Higgs spin determined to be 0
- pure CP odd Higgs couplings to bosons excluded at >99.9% CL
- mixtures (CP even and CP odd couplings) still possible
- important to test fermion couplings!

CP and coupling structures need be tested together

→ turns into Lagrangian/tensor structure checks (2014) 3076
→ test separately for boson and fermion couplings

26
H ⇾ DM DM ?

- dark matter particle candidates are massive


- do they get their mass through the/a Higgs mechanism?
- do they couple to the Higgs boson?
- if mDM < mH/2 => can search for dark matter decays of the Higgs boson

- Dark matter, like neutrinos would not interact with the ATLAS/CMS detectors
- search for X + missing transverse momentum
- use production modes with other final state particles

Using precision measurements
Measure the 125 GeV Higgs boson properties as precisely as possible
- deviations could point to physics beyond the SM

Examples
- coupling strength to other particles
- could be modified if the Higgs is a composite particle, or part of a larger Higgs sector
- assumes SM coupling structure
- spin/CP checks
- are there CP-odd admixtures in the 125 GeV Higgs boson?
- measurements can be interpreted in EFT (effective field theory) framework
- avoids assumption on SM coupling structure
- search for deviations in the Higgs Lagrangian without knowing exact new physics model
(assume you are below the energy scale where you have to worry about new heavy particles,
p.ex.)
- introduce additional operators, fit cross sections/distributions for Wilson coefficients (0 in SM).

Couplings measurements for SUSY constraints

- most SUSY models predict 5 Higgs bosons


tan (𝛃) = ratio of vevs
- 2 Higgs doublets

https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMSPublic/SummaryResultsHIG
- 5 physical final states: h, H, A, H+, H-

- 125 GeV Higgs could be h or H


- couplings would be modified
- in particular up vs down-type (incl. charged
leptons) couplings

- can use the couplings measurements to


constrain specific SUSY models

- example: hMSSM
- assume 125 GeV Higgs is h, and all other
Higgs bosons except for A are at extremely
high masses
- model can be described by 2 parameters
(mA and tan (𝛃))
- direct searches and coupling constraints
are complementary Further assumptions:
- no new production/decay modes of h(125)
- loop corrections due to SUSY particles neglected
31
One of the motivations of the HL-LHC
Snowmass 2013 (1310.8361)

- these corrections can be


quite small! (order a few
percent)

- current uncertainties on many


of the couplings: 5-20%
32
Summary Higgs physics
