104. Higgs production: higher orders and finite top mass

Prof. Robert Harlander (Bergische Universitaet Wuppertal)

Theory

Ordinary

We review the status of the theory predictions for Higgs cross sections at hadron colliders. The focus is put on gluon fusion, where the latest developments concerning the inclusive cross section and distributions are described. Recent investigations concerning the heavy-top limit are reported on. A brief survey of the major differences between Standard Model and SUSY Higgs production is given.

29. The Higgs at the Tevatron: the production rates and their uncertainties

Dr Abdelhak Djouadi (LPT Orsay/CERN)

We update the theoretical predictions for the production cross sections of the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Tevatron, focusing on the two main search channels: the gluon fusion mechanism and the associated production with a gauge boson. We include all relevant g=higher order corrections and then estimate the various uncertainties affecting these predictions: the scale uncertainties which...

11. Non-commutative approach :pre-and post-dictions

M. Thomas Schucker (Centre de Physique Theorique, Marseille)

Connes' noncommutative geometry offers a beautiful way of unifying Einstein's gravity with a tiny class of Yang-Mills-Higgs models. The standard model of electro-weak and strong forces is in this tiny class if some of its parameters meet certain constraints. The pre- and post-dictions resulting from these constraints will be reviewed. Among these, the most striking prediction is certainly the...

30. Higgs Coupling Determination at the LHC

Dr Michael Rauch (Univ. Karlsruhe, KIT)

07/03/2010 10:30

After a discovery of the Higgs boson the next question is what are its couplings. At the LHC there should be many observable channels which can be exploited to measure the relevant parameters in the Higgs sector. Using the SFitter framework we map these measurements onto the parameter space of a weak-scale effective theory with free Higgs boson couplings. Our analysis benefits from the...

115. Tevatron Results on BSM Higgs Searches

Dr Miguel Vidal (CIEMAT)

Experiment

Ordinary

We present the latest results of searches for beyond standard model Higgs boson production at the Tevatron collider of Fermilab. Analyses have been carried out on samples of about 1-4 inverse fb of data collected by the CDF and D0 detectors. In particular, Higgs bosons in supersymmetric models and fermiophobic scenario have been investigated, and limits on production cross sections and theory...
