  4. SM XS TF MC Group Statistics Forum LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group ATLAS ⊕ CMS ⊕LHCb⊗ Theory Creation announced in January 2010. Kickoff meeting on February 3, 2010.

  8. 2. Higgs Cross Sections and Branching Ratios • NNLO(+NNLL) QCD calculations for ggF, VBF, WH/ZH and NLO for ttH. • NLO electroweak radiative corrections (O~5-10%) assume factorization QCD vs EW corr. • PDF uncertainty defined with envelope of MSTW, CTEQ and NNPDF (PDF4LHC recipe). K-factor, QCD scale and PDF uncertainties at 7TeV Note: Scale and PDF+αs uncertainties are handled separately according to LHC Higgs combination WG’ prescription. (ATL-PHYS-PUB-2011-011,CMS NOTE-2011/005) LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group

  9. Higgs Decay Branching Ratios What are the theory (THU) + parametric (PU) uncertainties for branching ratios ? Use HDECAY and Prophecy4f for best estimate. Small uncertainties relative to scale and PDF uncertainties in Higgs production. Relatively large uncertainties for H→γγ, ττ at low MH. A. Denner et al., arXiv:1107.5909 LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group

  10. 3. NLO Monte Carlo and Higgs pT Distribution • NLO MCs became the de facto for physics analysis at LHC ! • Exist for ALL Higgs (but gg→ϕ, bbϕ) signals and major SM backgrounds. • Critical for exclusive H+1-jet analysis. • NLO MC for H+2(3)-jet for VBF channel also exist, including qqV, qqVV. 2011.8 • * Zbb work in progress. VBF dedicated MC: HAWK, VBFNLO LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group

  11. Higgs pTSpectrum • Higgs pT can be discriminant variable against bkg. • MC event reweighting via Higgs (pT,Y). • Due to its intrinsic harder Higgs pT spectrum, POWHEG gives ~15% lower efficiency than HqT in H→WW. (POWHEG MC is reweighted to HqT of NLO+NNLL). No reweighting for MC@NLO. • Can we learn from Z(W), ttbarpT spectrum ? NNLO NLO CERN Report 2011-002 LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group

  12. 4. Jet-bin Uncertainty in Exclusive Analysis • Exclusive analysis improves S/N, ex. H→WW→lνlνvsttbar background. • What are the uncertainties for the H+0,1,2-jet bins ? • Should they be taken from fixed-order NNLO, or from elsewhere ? • Given a set of uncertainties how do we treat correlations between the jet-bins ? • Fixed-order expansion shows evidence of large logarithms. The reduction in scale variation for small pT is artificial because of cancellations between large K-factors and large logarithms. C. Anastasiou et al., JHEP 0709 (2007) 018 ATLAS-CONF-2011-134 LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group

  13. Perturbative Uncertainties in Jet-bins • The fixed-order perturbative series for σtotal, σ≥1, σ≥2 can be uncorrelated in perturbative uncertainties: • The covariance matrix for the exclusive jet cross sections: Logarithms of ln(mH/pTcut) appear in σ≥1,2 cross section, but not the total; assume these terms dominate error. Which uncertainty for 2-jet bin with VBF topology ? I. Stewart and F. Tackmann, arXiv:1107.2117 LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group

  14. 5. Standard Model Backgrounds and Interferences Irreducible backgrounds: WW and ZZ in H→WW/ZZ→4f. http://lpc.web.cern.ch/lpc/ LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group

  15. Standard Model Background Estimation Keyword = ‘Data driven background estimation’ • ABCD method • Assume Cut1&2 are not correlated. • Then estimated signal is . • α method • When extrapolation cannot be done with data, use MC, • Backgrounds are estimated in multi-dimensional phase space (WW, top, W/Z+jets rich). Ex. H→WW*→lνlν … Higgs signal … small !! But extrapolation from control to signal region is delicate issue. Not necessarily guaranteed for different phase space. • Shape uncertainty ? • Spin correlation in signal and backgrounds ? • Signal and background interference effect ? • Missing Feynman diagram ? • Uncounted effect ? • … Cut2 MA MB NA NB Cut1 ATLAS-CONF-2011-134 LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group

  16. Effect of Single-Resonant Diagrams • qq/gg→WW/ZZ are important irreducible backgrounds for H→WW/ZZ→4f. • gg/qq 3-5%@7TeV (4% for H+0j, 7% for H+1j) and 10-30%@14TeV. • Non-negligible effects for light Higgs from ‘single-resonant diagrams’. • Large increase in NLO cross section by +55% for qq→ZZ* (MCFM v6.0) ! • Negative interference effect between gg→H→WW→lνlν and gg→WW. • -10% effect for MH<140GeV if MT<MH cut is not applied. • Now NLO MCs (POWHEG, aMC@NLO) handle ‘single-resonant diagrams’. (J.M. Campbell et al.,arXiv:1107.5569). With single-resonant diagram ← Double resonant → Single resonant + many grc(KEK) ZZ Single-W saga for searches at LEP2 Zγ* γ*γ* Double-resonant diagram only pp→4f,6f era for LHC !

  17. LO/NLO MC for qq/qg/gg→WW/WZ/ZZ 2011.8 Current ‘champs de bataille’ ! • MCFM: v6.1 will contain the gg→WW with a massive top in the loop. • LO ME MC like CompHEP/Grace/MadGraph/Phantom/Sherpa/WHIZARD/etc. are also useful. • gg2WW/ZZ: The gg→H→VV and continuum interference is now in gg2WW and will be in gg2ZZ. • aMC@NLO: Now available for qq→WW/WZ/ZZ at NLO and also gg→WW/ZZ (still private). • POWHEG: WW/WZ/ZZ exist. Does not include gg→VV*, thus one needs to use gg2WW/ZZ or others. • SHERPA: Work in progress for MCFM implementation for full NLO interface. • MCFM, gg2WW/ZZ, aMC@NLO should allow us to study the interference gg→H→VV and SM bkg. • * Tau polarization implementation • is experiment dependent. • ** Needs code hack. • *** Except ZZ.

  18. 6. Heavy Higgs Line Shape • Now LHC searches for heavy Higgs up to 600 GeV. We are studying the heavy Higgs searches in gg→H→WW→lνqq, gg→H→ZZ→llll,llνν,llqq etc. • What is the limitation of narrow Higgs-width approximation to decouple Higgs production and decay, then adopting ad-hoc Breit-Wigner for Higgs decay in MC ? • The effect of interference between Higgs and SM bkg. due to large Higgs width ? • What is the best strategy to go beyond MH=600 GeV ? • Higgs boson tames the bad high-energy behaviour of WW scattering. • Revisit longitudinal VLVL scattering modes ? • 2D scan in (MH, ΓH) for spin-0 particle search ? gluon W/Z top/bottom gg→W+W-→e+νeμ-νμ Higgs Higgs – spin 0 W/Z J.M. Campbell et al.,arXiv:1107.5569 LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group

  19. Heavy Higgs Cross Section and Line Shape Large distortion in Higgs invariant mass spectrum for heavy Higgs. C. Anastasiou et al., arXiv:1107.0683 G. Passarino, talk given at BNL Higgs XS WS • Propagator scheme vsBreit-Wigner • 20-30% difference in normalization and line shape. • Default option in iHixs program • Seymour option in iHixs program • Resummation of VV→VV scattering. • Improved s-ch approximation Seymour scheme tries to simulate the effects of signal-background interference off the resonant peak. Default scheme for purely Higgs signal cross-section. Deviations wrt zero-width approximation are +30% ~ -20% difference in XS for MH<600GeV. MH=600GeV MH=800GeV Seymour Defalut LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group

  20. Fourth Generation Model 7. Beyond Standard Model Higgs Fourth Generation Model • Unitarity argument puts MQ4<500-600GeV. MD4=ML4=600GeV (Down type quark and charged/neutral leptons) MU4- MD4= [ 1 + 1/5*ln(MH/115) ] * 50 GeV for EW precision measurement. Production and Decay • Expect x9 enhancement in EFT with additional quark doublet. • H→γγ - Cancellation in ggF production enhancement (x9) and decay suppression (x1/8). • H→WW/ZZ - Factor 4~9 enhancement over SM. • Recent calculations on NLO EW radiative corrections in the fourth generation mode for Higgs production (arXiv:1108.2025) and decay (Prophecy4fv2) indicate very large corrections.

  21. Fermiophobic Higgs Model • Assume Yukawa coupling off and SM like HVV coupling. • For Higgs production cross sections, NNLO VBF, WH/ZH numbers can be used. • EW radiative corrections are unknown in fermiophobic scenario, assign ±5%. HDECAY version 4.00 Excess over SM for MH<120GeV Full listings of numbers and figures at https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LHCPhysics/Fermiophobic LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group

  25. Interference in H→WW/ZZ→4f Decay • Quite often Higgs production rate is calculated using PDG Br(H→ff) values. • Inaccurate due to interference in H→4f decay ! 1) H→ZZ→eeee,μμμμ: large enhancement on BR (+11% at MH=120GeV) due to interference in ZZ. 2) H→WW/ZZ→eνeν,μνμν: an interference effect (-5.4% at MH=120GeV) below WW/ZZ thresholds. 3) H→WW→lνqq ,H→ZZ→llqq, ννqq less than 1%, except H→WW/ZZ→qqqq at low Higgs mass. • Current LHC analyses adopt corrections for H→ZZ→eeee,μμμμ only. (H→4f NLO MC does not exist.) • Recent Prophecy4f v.2 enables weight=1 generation of H→4f decay. • Needs to investigate new MC with NLO QCD (Higgs production) + NLO QCD+EW H→4f (Higgs decay). https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LHCPhysics/BRs LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group
