We study the detectability of the stoponium in the di-Higgs decay mode at the photon-photon collider option of the International $e^+e^-$ Linear Collider (ILC), whose center-of-mass energy is planned to reach $sim 1$ TeV. We find that $5sigma$ detection of the di-Higgs decay mode is possible with the integrated electron-beam luminosity of $1 {rm ab}^{-1}$ if the signal cross section, $sigma(gamma gamma rightarrow sigma_{tilde{t}_1} rightarrow hh)$, of ${cal O}(0.1)$ fb is realized for the stoponium mass smaller than $sim$ 800 GeV at 1 TeV ILC. Such a value of the cross section can be realized in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with relatively large trilinear stop-stop-Higgs coupling constant. Implication of the stoponium cross section measurement for the MSSM stop sector is also discussed.
Motivated by the recent LHC discovery of the di-photon excess at the invariant mass of ~ 750 GeV, we study the prospect of investigating the scalar resonance at a future photon-photon collider. We show that, if the di-photon excess observed at the LHC is due to a new scalar boson coupled to the standard-model gauge bosons, such a scalar boson can be observed and studied at the photon-photon collider with the center-of-mass energy of ~ 1 TeV in large fraction of parameter space.
Motivated by the ATLAS and CMS announcements of the excesses of di-photon events, we discuss the production and decay processes of di-photon resonance at future $e^+e^-$ colliders. We assume that the excess of the di-photon events at the LHC is explained by a scalar resonance decaying into a pair of photons. In such a case, the scalar interacts with standard model gauge bosons and, consequently, the production of such a scalar is possible at the $e^+e^-$ colliders. We study the production of the scalar resonance via the associated production with photon or $Z$, as well as via the vector-boson fusion, and calculate the cross sections of these processes. We also study the backgrounds, and discuss the detectability of the signals of scalar production with various decay processes of the scalar resonance. We also consider the case where the scalar resonance has an invisible decay mode, and study how the invisible decay can be observed at the $e^+e^-$ colliders.
Physical Higgs particles in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with explicit CP violation are CP mixed states. The decay of these Higgs particles can be analysed to study the CP properties of the MSSM. In the present work we consider the di-photon channel of the lightest neutral Higgs boson for this purpose. Compared to earlier studies on effects of scalar/pseudo-scalar mixing, our analysis also investigates the effect due to Higgs-sfermion-sfermion couplings along with that of mixing. We find that a light stop may have a strong impact on the width and Branching Ratio (BR) of the decay process H1 --> gamma.gamma, whereas other light sparticles have only little influence. In some regions of the MSSM parameter space with large CP-violating phase phi-mu ~ 90 deg a light (~ 200 GeV) stop can change the di-photon BR by more than 50 % compared to the case with heavy (~ 1 TeV) stop and otherwise same MSSM parameters.
In the context of the $B-L$ Supersymmetric Standard Model (BLSSM), we investigate the consistency of a light Higgs boson, with mass around $90-95$ GeV, with the results of a search performed by the CMS collaboration in the di-photon channel at the integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ and $sqrt s$ = 13 TeV.
The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with explicit CP violation is studied with the help of the di-photon decay channel of the lightest neutral Higgs boson. Effects of CP violation, entering via the scalar/pseudo-scalar mixing at higher order as well as through the Higgs-sfermion-sfermion couplings at tree-level, are analyzed in the MSSM with and without light sparticles. A light stop may have a strong impact on the decay width and Branching Ratio (BR) of the decay process H_1 -> gamma gamma, whereas other light sparticles have only little influence. In some regions of the MSSM parameter space with large CP-violating phase phi_mu ~ 90 degrees a light stop can change the BR by more than 50%.
