Foundations of the Scale-Symmetric Theory and the Illusory Total Width of the Off-Shell Higgs Bosons

Here we present the foundations of the Scale-Symmetric Theory (SST), i.e. the fundamental phase transitions of the initial inflation field, the atom-like structure of baryons and different types of black holes. Within SST we show that the transition from the nuclear strong interactions in the off-shell Higgs boson production to the nuclear weak interactions causes that the real total width of the Higgs boson from the Higgs line shape (i.e. 3.3 GeV) decreases to 4.3 MeV that is the illusory total width. Moreover, there appear some glueballs/condensates with the energy 3.3 GeV that accompany the production of the off-shell Higgs bosons.

Littlest Higgs Model and Higgs Boson Associated Production with Top Quark Pair at High Energy Linear e^＋e^- Collider

In the parameter space allowed by the electroweak precision measurement data, we consider the contributions of the new particles predicted by the littlest Higga model to the Higgs hoson associated production with top quark pair in the future high energy linear e^＋e^- collider （ILU）. We find that the contributions mainly come from the new gauge bosons ZH and BH. For reasonable values of the free parameters, the absolute value of the relative correction parameter δσ/σ^SM can be signiticanly large, which might be observed in the future ILU experiment with √S = 800 GeV.

Hybridization of Fuzzy and Hard Semi-Supervised Clustering Algorithms Tuned with Ant Lion Optimizer Applied to Higgs Boson Search

This paper focuses on the unsupervised detection of the Higgs boson particle using the most informative features and variables which characterize the“Higgs machine learning challenge 2014”data set.This unsupervised detection goes in this paper analysis through 4 steps:(1)selection of the most informative features from the considered data;(2)definition of the number of clusters based on the elbow criterion.The experimental results showed that the optimal number of clusters that group the considered data in an unsupervised manner corresponds to 2 clusters;(3)proposition of a new approach for hybridization of both hard and fuzzy clustering tuned with Ant Lion Optimization(ALO);(4)comparison with some existing metaheuristic optimizations such as Genetic Algorithm(GA)and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO).By employing a multi-angle analysis based on the cluster validation indices,the confusion matrix,the efficiencies and purities rates,the average cost variation,the computational time and the Sammon mapping visualization,the results highlight the effectiveness of the improved Gustafson-Kessel algorithm optimized withALO(ALOGK)to validate the proposed approach.Even if the paper gives a complete clustering analysis,its novel contribution concerns only the Steps(1)and(3)considered above.The first contribution lies in the method used for Step(1)to select the most informative features and variables.We used the t-Statistic technique to rank them.Afterwards,a feature mapping is applied using Self-Organizing Map(SOM)to identify the level of correlation between them.Then,Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO),a metaheuristic optimization technique,is used to reduce the data set dimension.The second contribution of thiswork concern the third step,where each one of the clustering algorithms as K-means(KM),Global K-means(GlobalKM),Partitioning AroundMedoids(PAM),Fuzzy C-means(FCM),Gustafson-Kessel(GK)and Gath-Geva(GG)is optimized and tuned with ALO.

The Accurate Mass Formulas of Leptons, Quarks, Gauge Bosons, the Higgs Boson, and Cosmic Rays

One of the biggest unsolved problems in physics is the particle masses of all elementary particles which cannot be calculated accurately and predicted theoretically. In this paper, the unsolved problem of the particle masses is solved by the accurate mass formulas which calculate accurately and predict theoretically the particle masses of all leptons, quarks, gauge bosons, the Higgs boson, and cosmic rays (the knees-ankles-toe) by using only five known constants: the number (seven) of the extra spatial dimensions in the eleven-dimensional membrane, the mass of electron, the masses of Z and W bosons, and the fine structure constant. The calculated masses are in excellent agreements with the observed masses. For examples, the calculated masses of muon, top quark, pion, neutron, and the Higgs boson are 105.55 MeV, 175.4 GeV, 139.54 MeV, 939.43 MeV, and 126 GeV, respectively, in excellent agreements with the observed 105.65 MeV, 173.3 GeV, 139.57 MeV, 939.27 MeV, and 126 GeV, respectively. The mass formulas also calculate accurately the masses of the new particle at 750 GeV from the LHC and the new light boson at 17 MeV. The theoretical base of the accurate mass formulas is the periodic table of elementary particles. As the periodic table of elements is derived from atomic orbitals, the periodic table of elementary particles is derived from the seven principal mass dimensional orbitals and seven auxiliary mass dimensional orbitals. All elementary particles including leptons, quarks, gauge bosons, the Higgs boson, and cosmic rays can be placed in the periodic table of elementary particles. The periodic table of elementary particles is based on the theory of everything as the computer simulation model of physical reality consisting of the mathematical computation, digital representation and selective retention components. The computer simulation model of physical reality provides the seven principal mass dimensional orbitals and seven auxiliary mass dimensional orbitals for the periodic table of elementary particles.

Neutral Higgs Boson Pair Production in Standard Model with the Fourth GenerationQuarks at LHC

We investigated the neutral Higgs boson pair production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the SM with four families. We found that the gluon-gluon fusion mode is the most dominant one in producing neutral Higgs boson pair at the LHC, and it can be used to probe the trilinear Higgs coupling. If the heavy quarks of the fourth generation really exist within the SM, they can manifest their effect on the cross section of the Higgs pair production process at the LHC. Our numerical results show that there will be neutral Higgs boson pair production events per year if the next generation heavy quarks really exist, while there will be only events produced per year if there are only three families in the SM.

Charged Higgs Boson Pair Production via Gluon-Gluon Collisions in MSSM with CP Violation

The CP-violating effects to the subprocess gg→H+H-are studied in the mSUGRA scenario at the CERN large hadron collider,by taking into account the experimental bounds of electron and neutron electric dipole moments.The CP-violating effects in this process are related to the complex phases ofμand Af in the mSUGRA scenario.In our calculation we consider smallCP phases ofμand Af and neglect the effects of neutral Higgs boson mixing.In this case the CP effects to the process mainly come from the complex couplings of Higgs-squark-squark.We find a strong dependence of charged Higgs boson pair production rate on the complex couplings in the parameter space of minimal supersymmetric standard model.

Production of Charged Higgs Bosons from Left-Right Twin Higgs Model at TeV Energy e^-γ Colliders

The left-right twin Higgs （LRTH） model predicts the existence of three additional Higgs bosons： one neutral Higgs φo and a pair of charged Higgs bosons φ±. In this paper, we study two pair production processes of these new particles at the next generation eγ colliders, i.e., e-γ → e-φ＋φ- , and e-γ→vRφ-φ0. We find that the production cross section of the process e-γ → e-φ＋φ- are at the level of several tens fb, the production cross section of the process e-γ→vRφ-φ0 can reach 0.35 fb with the reasonable parameter values. As long as the charged Higgs bosons are not too heavy, we conclude that these processes might be used to test for the left-right twin Higgs model in future high-energy linear collider experiments.

Single Production of Doubly Charged Higgs Boson via cγCollision in Higgs Triplet Model

The Higgs triplet model （HTM） predicts the existence of a pair of doubly charged Higgs bosons H±±. Single production of H±± via e7 collision at the next generation e＋ e- International Linear Collider （ILC） and the Large Hadron electron Collider （LHeC） is considered. The numerical results show that the production cross sections are very sensitive to the neutrino oscillation parameters. Their values for the inverted hierarchy mass spectrum are larger than those for the normal hierarchy mass spectrum at these two kinds of collider experiments. With reasonable values of the relevant free parameters, the possible signals of the doubly charged Higgs bosons predicted by the HTM might be detected in future ILC experiments.

Spin Forms and Spin Interactions among Higgs Bosons, between Higgs Boson and Graviton

This paper offers concrete spin matrix forms of 0h spin zero particle, and shows the existent of the spin interactions among 0h spin zero particles. It is obviously hoping to approach, on the most comprehensive level, to understand what really Higgs Boson is and what role-play Higgs Boson is acting in particle physics. As a "particle" of gravitational force, the spin interaction between 0h spin zero particle (Higgs Boson) and 2h spin particle (Graviton) is given, which maybea way that people would find Graviton in future.

Branching Ratios from H→γγ and H→Zγ with a 125 GeV Higgs Boson

Motivated by the recent result reported from LHC on the di-photon search from the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson, we obtain limits on the anomalous couplings Hγγ and HZγ. We also perform a calculation at tree level of the decay widths as well as of the branching ratios for the reactions H → γγ and H → Zγ in the context of effective lagrangian for Higgs boson masses 115 ≤MH ≤ 130 GeV. We find that the decay widths and branching ratios from these reactions enhanced significantly due to the anomalous Hγγ and HZγ vertex, which would lead to measurable effects in Higgs signals at the LHC. Moreover, our results complement other studies on the channels H → γγ and H → Zγ.

Exploration of heavy Higgs bosons at a 100 TeV hadron collider within the semi-constrained next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model

In this study,we explore the detectability of heavy Higgs bosons in the pp→bbH/A→bbtt channel at a100 TeV hadron collider within the semi-constrained next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model.We calculate their production cross sections and decay branching ratios and compare them with simulation results from literature.We focus on the heavy doublet-dominated CP-even Higgs H and CP-odd Higgs A,with mass limits set below 10TeV to ensure detectability.At a collider with an integrated luminosity of 3 ab^(-1),the potential for detecting heavy Higgs bosons varies significantly with their mass and tanβ.Heavy Higgs bosons with masses below 2 TeV are within the testable range,while those heavier than 7 TeV are below the exclusion and discovery thresholds,rendering them undetectable.For masses between 2 and 7 TeV,heavy Higgs bosons with tanβ smaller than 20 can be detected,whereas those with tanβ larger than 20 are beyond the current discovery or exclusion capabilities.

Higgs boson decays h→MZ in the TNMSSM

We study the SM-like Higgs boson decays h→MZ in the triplet extended NMSSM(TNMSSM),where M is a vector meson(ρ,ω,φ,J/ψ,Υ).Compared to the minimal supersymmetric standard model(MSSM),the TNMSSM includes two new SU(2) triplets with hypercharge ±1 and an SM gauge singlet,which are coupled to each other.The indirect contributions to the h→MZ decays are produced from the effective hyZ vertex,and they are more important than the direct contributions.The results of this work could encourage a detection on h→Zγ at the future high energy colliders for exploring new physics beyond the SM.

Light Higgs boson in the NMSSM confronted with the CMS di-photon and di-tau excesses

In 2018, the CMS collaboration reported a di-photon excess at approximately 95.3 GeV with a local significance of 2.8 σ. Interestingly, the CMS collaboration also recently reported a di-tau excess at 95-100 GeV with a local significance of 2.6-3.1 σ. In addition, a bb excess at 98 GeV with a local significance of 2.3 σ was reported from LEP data approximately twenty years ago. In this study, we addressed the interpretation of these excesses together with a light Higgs boson in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model(NMSSM). We conclude that, in the NMSSM, the 95-100 GeV excesses are difficult to be satisfied simultaneously(not possible globally at the 1σ level or simultaneously at the 2σ level). We analyzed two partially-satisfied scenarios: global 2σ and small di-photon. An approximate equation of global fit to the three excesses was derived, and two representative types of surviving samples were analyzed in detail. Given that the mass regions of these excesses are near the Z boson, we also checked the light Higgs boson in the tt-associated channels. The detailed results may be useful for further checking the low-mass-region excesses in the future.

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.

Detection of Charged Higgs Bosons in e^+e^-(γγ)→tφ^- Production at the ILC

Abstract In the context of the left-right twin Higgs （LRTH） model, we have studied the charged Higgs bosons production processes e＋e-（γγ） →tbФ- at the International Linear Collider （ILC）. It is found that the cross sections of these two processes could reach a few Fo with reasonable parameter values. With the yearly integrated luminosity of L 500 fb-1 expected at the ILC, one could collect hundreds up to thousands of charged ttiggs events via these two processes. Therefore, our researches in this paper can help us search for charged Higgs bosons, and furthermore, to test the LRTH model.

Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to Higgs boson decay to quarkonium plus a photon

In this paper, we investigate the decay of the Higgs boson to J/ψ（γ ） plus a photon based on NRQCD factorization. For the direct process, we calculate the decay width up to QCD NLO. We find that the decay width for process H → J/ψ（γ ） ＋γ direct production at the LO is significantly reduced by the NLO QCD corrections. For the indirect process, we calculate the H→γ＊γ, with virtual 7 substantially decaying to J/ψ（γ）, including all the SM Feynman diagrams. The decay width of indirect production is much larger than the direct decay width. Since it is very clean in experiment, the H →J/ψ（ γ） ＋γ decay could be observable at a 14 TeV LHC and it also offers a new way to probe the Yukawa coupling and New Physics at the LHC.

LHT model and Higgs boson production in association with a weak gauge boson at the LHC

Considering the process pp→VH ＋X（V = W or Z） is a significant channel for searching for a light Higgs boson, we calculate the contributions of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity （called LHT model） to its production cross section. We find that, in most of the parameter space, the value of the relative correction parameter R is very small. However, with reasonable values of the free parameters, its value can be significantly larger.

Pair production of neutral Higgs bosons from the left-right twin Higgs model via γγ collisions

The left-right twin Higgs （LRTH） model predicts the existence of the neutral Higgs bosons （h, φ0）, which can be produced in pairs （φ0φ0, hh, φ0h） via γγ collisions at the next generation e＋eInternational Linear Collider （ILC）. Our numerical results show that the production cross section of the neutral Higgs boson pair φ0φ0 can reach 8.8 fb. The subprocess γγ → φ0φ0 might be used to test the LRTH model in future ILC experiments.

Study of diphoton decays of the lightest scalar Higgs boson in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

The CMS and ATLAS experiments at the LHC have announced the discovery of a Higgs boson with mass at approximately 125 GeV/c2 in the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson via, notably, the 2/y and ZZ to four leptons final states. Considering the recent results of the Higgs boson searches from the LHC, we study the lightest scalar Higgs boson hi in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model by restricting the next-to- lightest scalar Higgs boson h2 to be the observed to the 125 GeV/c2 state. We perform a scan over the relevant NMSSM parameter space that is favoured by low fine-tuning considerations. Moreover, we also take the experimental constraints from direct searches, B-physics observables, relic density, and anomalous magnetic moment of the muon measurements, as well as the theoretical considerations, into account in our specific scan. We find that the signal rate in the two-photon final state for the NMSSM Higgs boson hi with the mass range from about 80 GeV/e2 to about 122 CeV/c2 can be enhanced by a factor of up to 3.5 when the Higgs boson h2 is required to be compatible with the excess from latest LHC results. This motivates the extension of the search at the LHC for the Higgs boson hi in the diphoton final state down to masses of 80 GeV/c2, particularly with the upcoming proton-proton collision data to be taken at center-of-mass energies of 13-14 TeV.
