Higgs – Current Understanding

• Discovery motivation is obvious – Higgs is a central part of the Standard Model

• But after discovery, the Higgs mass must be determined– MHIGGS determines decay , and production for coupling to all particles

• Constraints on MHIGGSLEP direct search– M>114GeV @ 95% CL

ElectroWeakWorkingGroup– Favors light higgs, 91GeV central value– M<211 GeV 1-sided 95%CL

What is Fermiophobic Higgs?

• Fermiophobic…means you turn off couplings to fermions– Can occur in Type-1 2-doublet Higgs models

• Type-1 – one doublet couples to fermions, the other to bosons

• 2 CP even neutral Higgs bosons: light h and heavy H• mixes with scalar field with angle • coupling to fermions via

– mass, as usual, and– sin() for H and cos() for h

• h is therefore “fermiophobic” in the limit →/2– Of course we could have a “fermiophobic” H (→0)…but h is

lighter so we look there…

Fermiophobic Higgs Production

• Effect on Higgs production:– Eliminates gluon fusion

• Biggest contribution to SM Higgs production…

– Leaving:• “Associated Production”

– Virtual W*/Z* → onshell W/Z+h

• WW fusion – Quark lines radiate W’s, fuse to

h– ZZ fusion too small by usual

Fermiophobic Higgs Decay• Final states:

– No bb in the final state (fermiophobic!)–

• Through W triangle loop

• Dominates at low Mh

• Also WWvertex– Suppressed by EM factors

– Associated Production:• Z/W+h where h → WW/ZZ

– But h →ZZ suppressed– Dominant final states are

» ZWW, WWW– Physics background from ZWW,

standard EWK tri-linear coupling• h → WW dominates at high Mh

This Talk….• So, for this talk, present status on:

– W*/Z* → W/Z h, h → WW• Look for the h → WW

– Focus on final states with 2 W’s» 2 Z’s will be relatively suppressed (see previous slide)

– Search for inclusive ee, , and e± lepton pairs + MET

• The “prompt” W/Z in final state…– No requirement on any leptonic decay

– W/Z*h → W/Z• Look for states with 2s

– large MET and/or jets

– Let the theorists foot the bill as to interpretation• Which particular “Type” etc.

h → WW → ll

• Combine ee and e± sample: – Dielectron sample: 44pb-1 – e sample: 34pb-1

• Backgrounds– All dilepton channels have

• Small: WW, W, ZZ, WZ, and top• Large: W+jet and QCD misidentification

– ee also has a large background from Z → ee

• Reduced via ee mass MET cut• W+jet dominate after, with some ’s remaining

– e Dominated by QCD and W+jet

Muon Sample, Jets, and MET• Muons:

– ID from muon system– Isolated from jets using E(cal) and tracks

• E(R<0.4) E(R<0.1)<2.5GeV• PT (in cone R<0.5) tracks < 2.5 GeV

– Reject cosmics via timing requirement– PT > 10 GeV with central track match

• Jets:– Cut to eliminate hot towers, other pathologies– EMF cut– ||<2.5– Energy corrections, cone 0.5

• MET– Use calorimeter cells– Correct for jet energy corrections

• Use 0.7cone jets for this

Event Cuts• Electrons

– 2 with PT> 20 GeV– at least 1 with track match– M(ee) < 78 GeV to reject Z’s

• MET– MET > 25 GeV and

(jets,MET) > 0.5

• Dominant background is W+jets

• Spin Correlations– W and W have opposite spin

projections• Tendency for charged

leptons to be emitted along same direction

– Require (leptons)<2.0

– Uncertainty mostly from W+jets

• Results combing ee and e± – Upper limit of 2-3pb @ 95%CL

• Limited data…x4 being analyzed now
