通过FCC-ee共振s沟道Higgs产生测量电子Yukawa耦合

Measuring the electron Yukawa coupling via resonant s-channel Higgs production at FCC-ee

摘要:

未来圆形对撞机(FCC-ee)提供了一个独特的机会,研究希格斯耦合到电子,$y_e$,通过共振s-通道的生产,$e^+e^- \to H$,在一个专门的运行在$\sqrt{s} = m_H$。直接产生希格斯粒子的特征是特定终态的截面有一个小的上升,这与希格斯粒子衰变相一致,超出了对它们发生的预期,这是由于涉及$Z^*,γ^*$或t通道交换的SM背景过程。执行这样的测量是非常具有挑战性的,主要有四个原因。首先,低的e $^\pm$质量值导致微小的$y_e$耦合,以及相应的小截面:$σ_{ee\to H}\,\propto m_e^2 = 0.57$ fb占初始态辐射。其次,$e^+e^-$光束必须单色化,以使其厘米能量扩展与SM希格斯玻色子的窄宽度($Γ_H = 4.1$ MeV)相当,同时保持大的光束光度。第三,希格斯粒子的质量也必须事先知道,精确度只有几兆电子伏,才能让对撞机在共振峰$\sqrt{s} = m_H$运行。最后但并非最不重要的是,背景过程的横截面比希格斯衰变信号的横截面大许多数量级。一个发电机级的研究11希格斯衰变使用多变量分析,利用BDTs区分信号和背景事件,确定两个最有希望的统计意义方面的最后状态:$H\to gg$和$H\to WW^*\to\ellν$ + 2喷流。对于基准4.1 MeV c.m.能量扩散(导致$σ_{ee\to H}\, = 0.28$ fb)和$\mathcal{L}_{int}=10$ ab $^{-1}$,可以达到$1.3σ$信号显著性,对应于在SM值的1.6倍处的ePDMATHABMQ Yukawa上的上限:$|y_e|<1.6|y^{SM}_e|$在95%置信水平,每年每个IP。未来的改进方向的研究进行了概述。

英文摘要:

The Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) offers the unique opportunity of studying the Higgs coupling to the electron, $y_e$, via resonant s-channel production, $e^+e^- \to H$, in a dedicated run at $\sqrt{s} = m_H$. The signature for direct Higgs production is a small rise in cross sections for particular final states, consistent with Higgs decays, over the expectations for their occurrence due to SM background processes involving $Z^*,γ^*$, or t-channel exchanges. Performing such a measurement is remarkably challenging for four main reasons. First, the low value of the e$^\pm$ mass leads to a tiny $y_e$ coupling, and correspondingly small cross section: $σ_{ee\to H}\,\propto m_e^2 = 0.57$ fb accounting for initial-state radiation. Second, the $e^+e^-$ beams must be monochromatized such that their c.m. energy spread is commensurate with the narrow width of the SM Higgs boson, $Γ_H = 4.1$ MeV, while keeping large beam luminosities. Third, the Higgs mass must also be known beforehand with a few-MeV accuracy in order to operate the collider at the resonance peak, $\sqrt{s} = m_H$. Last but not least, the cross sections of the background processes are many orders-of-magnitude larger than those of the Higgs decay signals. A generator-level study of 11 Higgs decays using a multivariate analysis, exploiting BDTs to discriminate signal and background events, identifies two final states as the most promising ones in terms of statistical significance: $H\to gg$ and $H\to WW^*\to\ellν$ + 2 jets. For a benchmark 4.1-MeV c.m. energy spread (leading to $σ_{ee\to H}\, = 0.28$ fb) and $\mathcal{L}_{int}=10$ ab$^{-1}$, a $1.3σ$ signal significance can be reached, corresponding to an upper limit on the e$^\pm$ Yukawa at 1.6 times the SM value: $|y_e|<1.6|y^{SM}_e|$ at 95\% confidence level, per IP per year. Directions for future improvements of the study are outlined.
