Interesting Facts about the γγ Channel
- If observed implies that it does not originate from spin 1 : Landau-Yang theorem
- Main production and decay processes occur through loops :
… Not so obviously enhanced (e.g. SM4)
known at NNnLO, still rather large uncertainty O(10%)
A priori potentially large possible enhancement…
Seldom larger yields : e.g. NMSSM (U. Ellwanger et al.) up to x6, large stau mixing (M.
Carena et al.), Fermiophobia…
- High mass resolution channel
- If observed implies that its Charge Conjugation is +1

Performing analysis with categories
- 9 (central/forward and converted/not converted photons, pTt (γγ)) - +3 (low mass di-jet, lepton and MET disentangling VH)
- +2 (two 2-jet VBF categories MVA)
Improving Sensitivity and Probing Other Production Modes
H → 4l Update Why Categories?
Let’s take a simple example with two categories:
- C1: s=12 and b=60 - C2: s=18 and b=40
Inclusively we have a significance of 3 Separating in two categories:
- C1 2.85 σ - C2 1.55 σ
Combined significance: 3.24

The Natural Width of the Higgs Boson
Is small therefore small couplings to the Higgs can be easily visible: tool for discovery!
At LHC only cross secAon x branching raAo, no direct access to the Higgs total cross secAon (unlike e+e-‐ collider from recoil mass spectrum)
-‐ Direct measurement (on-‐shell) with the ZZ(4l) and γγ channels [obs. (exp.)]:
Γ4l < 2.6 (3.5) GeV [exp. 6.5 for µ=1] and Γγγ <5.0 (6.2) GeV
-‐ Only measure raAo of couplings or coupling modifiers with specific assumpAons -‐ Coupling properAes measurements
-‐ Constraints from invisible (and exoAc decays)

Main results I : Probing the coupling to SM particles
- By convention sign on the fermion yukawa strength multiplier
(relying on the γγ strength primarily)… ambiguity inspired tH analyses - Checking the direct and indirect couplings to fermions
- Checks of specific composite models
Main results II : Probing the W to Z ratio (custodial symmetry)
Main results III : Probing physics beyond the Standard Model
(In the decays and/or in the loops)
Also direct invisible only search
Main results IV : Other Relevant Models
- Illustrating the mass dependence
- 3 coupling strength parameter fits κu, κd and κV for MSSM and 2HDM limits
Cornering (directly) the top Yukawa coupling
Analysis strategy
- 2 channels t(lvb)t(qqb)H(bb) and t(lvb)t(lvb)H(bb) - Challenging tt+jets background…
- tt+jets and tt+HF tamed
