Precise measurement of the Higgs boson properties is an important issue of the International Linear Collider (ILC) experiment. We studied the accuracy of the Higgs mass reconstruction in the ZH->qqH multi-jet process with the Higgs mass of MH = 120 GeV at sqrt(s) = 250 GeV with the ILD detector model. In this study, we obtained the reconstructed Higgs mass of M_H = 120.79 +- 0.089 GeV and 5.3% measurement accuracy of the cross-section for ZH->qqbb with the integrated luminosity of L=250 fb^{-1} data samples.
Precise measurement of the Higgs boson properties are important issues for the International Linear Collider (ILC) project to understand the particles mass generation mechanism which strongly related to the coupling with the Higgs boson. Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments exclude the large area of the predicted Higgs mass region and their results indicate that Higgs boson mass will be light. Even if LHC discovers the Higgs like particle by the end of 2012, Higgs will be identified by the high precision measurement of the Higgs boson properties in ILC and also Higgs measurement verifies the correctness of standard model (SM) or gives some hints toward its beyond. In this study, we evaluate the measurement accuracies of Higgs branching fraction to the H->bb, cc and gg at the center-of-mass energy of 250 and 350 GeV.
Precise measurement of the Higgs boson properties is an important issue of the International Linear Collider (ILC) experiment to verify the particles mass generation mechanism that the coupling strength between the Higgs boson and the fermions or vector bosons are proportional to the mass of each particle. Thus the measurement of the branching ratio of the Higgs boson an important issue to understand the mass of each particle. In this analysis, measurement accuracy of the Higgs boson branching ratio in the ZH->qqH hadronic decay mode was studied with the cut-based analysis in Higgs mass of M_{H}=120 GeV at the center-of-mass energy of sqrt{s}=250 GeV with the ILD detector model. From the analysis, we estimate the measurement accuracy of the relative Higgs boson branching ratio of BR(H->cc)$ to BR(H->bb) as 13.68%.
The existence of dark matter has been established in astrophysics. However, there are no dark matter candidates in the Standard Model~(SM). If the dark matter particles or their mediator can not interact with SM fermions or gauge bosons, the Higgs boson is the only portal to the dark matter. We present a simulation study to search for invisible decays of the Higgs boson at the ILC with the ILD detector.
This paper presents a full simulation study of the measurement of the production cross section ($sigma_{mathrm{ZH}}$) of the Higgsstrahlung process $mathrm{e^{+}e^{-}rightarrow ZH}$ and the Higgs boson mass ($M_{mathrm{H}}$) at the International Linear Collider (ILC), using events in which a Higgs boson recoils against a Z boson decaying into a pair of muons or electrons. The analysis is carried out for three center-of-mass energies $sqrt{s}$ = 250, 350, and 500 GeV, and two beam polarizations $mathrm{e_{L}^{-}e_{R}^{+}}$ and $mathrm{e_{R}^{-}e_{L}^{+}}$, for which the polarizations of $mathrm{e^{-}}$ and $mathrm{e^{+}}$ are $left(Pmathrm{e^{-}},Pmathrm{e^{+}}right)$ =($-$80%, +30%) and (+80%, $-$30%), respectively. Assuming an integrated luminosity of 250 $mathrm{fb^{-1}}$ for each beam polarization at $sqrt{s}$ = 250 GeV, where the best lepton momentum resolution is obtainable, $sigma_{mathrm{ZH}}$ and $M_{mathrm{H}}$ can be determined with a precision of 2.5% and 37 MeV for $mathrm{e_{L}^{-}e_{R}^{+}}$ and 2.9% and 41 MeV for $mathrm{e_{R}^{-}e_{L}^{+}}$, respectively. Regarding a 20 year ILC physics program, the expected precisions for the $mathrm{HZZ}$ coupling and $M_{mathrm{H}}$ are estimated to be 0.4% and 14 MeV, respectively. The event selection is designed to optimize the precisions of $sigma_{mathrm{ZH}}$ and $M_{mathrm{H}}$ while minimizing the bias on the measured $sigma_{mathrm{ZH}}$ due to discrepancy in signal efficiencies among Higgs decay modes. For the first time, model independence has been demonstrated to a sub-percent level for the $sigma_{mathrm{ZH}}$ measurement at each of the three center-of-mass energies. The results presented show the impact of center-of-mass energy and beam polarization on the evaluated precisons and serve as a benchmark for the planning of the ILC run scenario.
We evaluate the measurement precision of the production cross section times the branching ratio of the Higgs boson decaying into tau lepton pairs at the International Linear Collider (ILC). We analyze various final states associated with the main production mechanisms of the Higgs boson, the Higgs-strahlung and WW-fusion processes. The statistical precision of the production cross section times the branching ratio is estimated to be 2.6% and 6.9% for the Higgs-strahlung andWW-fusion processes, respectively, with the nominal integrated luminosities assumed in the ILC Technical Design Report; the precision improves to 1.0% and 3.4% with the running scenario including possible luminosity upgrades. The study provides a reference performance of the ILC for future phenomenological analyses.
