Exploring the Consequences of Suppressed Higgs Decays to Photons at the LHC

This paper examines the implications of suppressed Higgs boson decays to photons within the context of the LHC. It discusses electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB), Higgs physics in collider settings, and the complexities of measuring Higgs interactions. Key topics include modifications to the total Higgs width, production cross-sections, and decay widths, focusing on the Higgs-photon coupling and new dynamics affecting observable physics. The analysis highlights the significance of these modifications on branching fractions and the relevance of discovering the Higgs boson under Standard Model expectations.
