A comparison of direct and indirect determinations of the masses of the Higgs Boson and the top quark

The indirect estimation of the Higgs Boson mass from electroweak radiative corrections within the Standard Model is compared with the directly measured value obtained by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at the CERN LHC collider. Treating the direct measurement of m_H as input, the Standard Model indirect estimation of the top-quark mass is also obtained and compared with its directly measured value. A model-independent analysis finds an indirect value of m_H of ■70 GeV, below the directly measured value of 125.7±0.4 GeV and an indirect value:m_t = 177.3±1.0 GeV, above the directly measured value: 173.21±0.87 GeV. A goodness-of-fit test to the Standard Model using all Z-pole observables and mW has a χ~2 probability of ■2%. The reason why probability values about a factor of ten larger than this, and indirect estimates of m H about 30 GeV higher, have been obtained in recent global fits to the same data is recalled.     

Search for W' signal in single top quark production at the LHC

Heavy charged gauge bosons are proposed in some theories beyond the standard model. We explore the discovery potential for W →tb with top quark semi-leptonic decay at the LHC. We concentrate on the new physics signal search with the deviation from the standard model prediction if the resonance peak of W cannot be observed directly. Signal events with two jets plus one charged lepton and missing energy are simulated, together with the dominant standard model backgrounds. In this paper, it is found that suitable cuts on the kinematic observables can effectively suppress the standard model backgrounds, so that it is possible to search for a W signal at the LHC if its mass is less than 6.6 Te V.     

Single top production associated with a neutral scalar at LHC in topcolor-assisted technicolor

The topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model predicts a number of neutral scalars like the top-pion (π⁰_t) and the top-Higgs (h⁰_t). These scalars have flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) top quark couplings, among which the top-charm transition couplings may be sizable. Such FCNC couplings induce single top productions associated with a neutral scalar at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) through the parton processes cg→t π⁰_t and cg→t h⁰_t. In this paper we examine these productions and find their production rates can exceed the 3σ sensitivity of the LHC in a large part of parameter space. Since in the Standard Model and the minimal supersymmetric model such rare productions have unobservably small production rates at the LHC, these rare processes will serve as a good probe for the TC2 model.

Chargino-Pair Productions via Drell-Yan Process at the LHC

We present the analytical and numerical investigations of chargino-pair productions via Drell-Yan process a t proton-proton collider in the frame of minimal supersymmetric extension at tree level. For the χ_i⁺χ_j^-(i,j= 1,2) pair productions at the LHC, the cross section is in the order of 3～2.5 ×10^-3 pb. We find that the cross sections of all kinds of chargino-pair production processes are strongly related to the SUSY Lagrangian parameters M₂ and μ.

Can a Higgs boson be produced at the LHC?

A simple model is designed to simulate, by using the mean free path method, the probability of Higgs boson production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The probability that the colliding particles could get close to a given distance with different colliding energies is discussed in this model. Calculated results imply that the probability of producing a Higgs boson is near zero according to the existing theoretical mechanism for Higgs boson production.     

Naturalness,supersymmetry and implications for LHC and dark matter

It is shown that the Hyperbolic Branch of the radiative electroweak symmetry breaking contains in it three regions: the Focal Point, Focal Curves, and Focal Surfaces. Further, the Focal Point is shown to lie on the boundary of a Focal Curve. These focal regions allow for a small μ while scalar masses can become large and may lie in the several TeV region. It is shown that for the mSUGRA model the current LHC-7 constraint depletes the Focal Point region while regions on Focal Curves and Focal Surfaces remain largely intact. The LHC implications for models which lie on Focal Curves are briefly discussed as well as the implications of dark matter constraints for the Focal Point, Focal Curves and Focal Surfaces are discussed.     

Enhanced di-photon Higgs signal in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

In the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, CP-even Higgs bosons can have masses in the range of 80–110 GeV in agreement with constraints from LEP due to their sizeable singlet component. Nevertheless their branching ratio into two photons can be more than 10 times larger than the one of a Standard Model Higgs boson of similar mass due to a reduced coupling to b quarks. This can lead to a spectacular enhancement of the Higgs signal rate in the di-photon channel at hadron colliders by a factor 6. Corresponding scenarios can occur in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model for a relatively low Susy breaking scale.
