Abstract:
We investigate the sensitivity of the heavy ion mode of the LHC to Higgs boson and Radion production via photon–photon fusion through the analysis of the processes γγ→γγ,
, and γγ→gg in peripheral heavy ion collisions. We suggest cuts to improve the Higgs and Radion signal over standard model background ratio and determine the capability of LHC to detect these particles production.
