摘要:

在欧洲核子研究中心(CERN)的大型强子对撞机上,以$7$和$10$ TeV的质心能量考察了标准模型希格斯玻色子的发现前景。我们进行了模拟的信号和主要背景的希格斯玻色子生产和衰变的$W^+ W^-$双轻子模式,发现很好的协议与ATLAS和CMS合作估计的信号意义在14 TeV的希格斯玻色子质量附近的$m_H = 160$ ~GeV。在$7$ ~TeV的较低能量下,使用与这些合作相同的分析切割,我们计算了ATLAS情况下在$m_H = 160$ ~GeV处约为$2$标准偏差($σ$)的预期信号灵敏度,以及CMS情况下积分光度的$1$ ~fb $^{-1}$的约3. 6 ~ $σ$。对于$5~σ$水平的发现,在ATLAS情况下,在$7$和$10$ ~TeV处分别需要8~ $\rm{fb}^{-1}$和3~ $\rm{fb}^{-1}$的积分光度。在CMS的情况下,在$7$和$10$ ~TeV处,数字为2~ $\rm{fb}^{-1}$和1~ $\rm{fb}^{-1}$。我们对这两个实验的不同预期来自CMS案例中更严格的分析削减。我们的结果表明,当$1~{\rm fb}^{-1}$的积分光度为7 TeV时,LHC可以排除160 ~ 180 GeV范围内的$m_H$值,但前提是没有观测到信号。

英文摘要:

Prospects for discovery of the standard model Higgs boson are examined at center of mass energies of $7$ and $10$ TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. We perform a simulation of the signal and principal backgrounds for Higgs boson production and decay in the $W^+ W^-$ dilepton mode, finding good agreement with the ATLAS and CMS collaboration estimates of signal significance at 14 TeV for Higgs boson masses near $m_H = 160$~GeV. At the lower energy of $7$~TeV, using the same analysis cuts as these collaborations, we compute expected signal sensitivities of about $2$ standard deviations ($σ$'s) at $m_H = 160$~GeV in the ATLAS case, and about 3.6~$σ$ in the CMS case for $1$~fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. Integrated luminosities of 8~$\rm{fb}^{-1}$ and 3~$\rm{fb}^{-1}$ are needed in the ATLAS case at $7$ and $10$~TeV, respectively, for $5~σ$ level discovery. In the CMS case, the numbers are 2~$\rm{fb}^{-1}$ and 1~$\rm{fb}^{-1}$ at $7$ and $10$~TeV. Our different stated expectations for the two experiments arise from the more restrictive analysis cuts in the CMS case. Recast as exclusion limits, our results show that with $1~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity at 7~TeV, the LHC may be able to exclude $m_H$ values in the range 160 to 180~GeV provided no signal is seen.
