The prospects for measuring the branching fraction of $H to mu ^+ mu ^-$ at the International Linear Collider (ILC) have been evaluated based on a full detector simulation of the International Large Detector (ILD) concept, considering centre-of-mass energies ($sqrt{s}$) of 250 GeV and 500 GeV. For both $sqrt{s}$ cases, the two final states $e^+ e^- to qoverline{q}H$ and $e^+ e^- to u overline{ u}H$ have been analyzed. For integrated luminosities of 2 ab$^{-1}$ at $sqrt{s} = 250$ GeV and 4 ab$^{-1}$ at $sqrt{s} = 500$ GeV, the combined precision on the branching fraction of $H to mu ^+ mu ^-$ is estimated to be 17{%}. The impact of the transverse momentum resolution for this analysis is also studied.
We study the prospects of measuring the decay of the Higgs boson into a pair of muons at the International Linear Collider (ILC). The study is performed at center-of-mass energies of 250,GeV and 500,GeV, with fully-simulated Monte-Carlo samples based on the International Large Detector (ILD). The expected precision on cross section times branching ratio $sigma times mathrm{BR}(h to mu ^+ mu ^-)$ has been evaluated to be 24.9{%} for an integrated luminosity of 2,ab$^{-1}$ at 250,GeV. This result improves to 17.5{%} in combination with 4,ab$^{-1}$ of 500,GeV data. We also quantify the impact of the transverse momentum resolution on this analysis, and found that it is very important reach the design goal of an asymptotic resolution of $sigma_{1/P_t} = 2 times 10^{-5}$,GeV$^{-1}$.
Precise measurement of Higgs boson couplings is an important task for International Linear Collider (ILC) experiments and will facilitate the understanding of the particle mass generation mechanism. In this study, the measurement accuracies of the Higgs boson branching fractions to the $b$ and $c$ quarks and gluons, $Delta Br(Hto bbar{b},sim cbar{c},sim gg)/Br$, were evaluated with the full International Large Detector model (texttt{ILD_00}) for the Higgs mass of 120 GeV at the center-of-mass (CM) energies of 250 and 350 GeV using neutrino, hadronic and leptonic channels and assuming an integrated luminosity of $250 {rm fb^{-1}}$, and an electron (positron) beam polarization of -80% (+30%). We obtained the following measurement accuracies of the Higgs cross section times branching fraction ($Delta (sigma cdot Br)/sigma cdot Br$) for decay of the Higgs into $bbar{b}$, $cbar{c}$, and $gg$; as 1.0%, 6.9%, and 8.5% at a CM energy of 250 GeV and 1.0%, 6.2%, and 7.3% at 350 GeV, respectively. After the measurement accuracy of the cross section ($Deltasigma/sigma$) was corrected using the results of studies at 250 GeV and their extrapolation to 350 GeV, the derived measurement accuracies of the branching fractions ($Delta Br/Br$) to $bbar{b}$, $cbar{c}$, and gg were 2.7%, 7.3%, and 8.9% at a CM energy of 250 GeV and 3.6%, 7.2%, and 8.1% at 350 GeV, respectively.

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.
The talk summarises the case for Higgs physics in $e^+e^-$ collisions and explains how Higgs parameters can be extracted in a model-independent way at the International Linear Collider (ILC). The expected precision will be discussed in the context of projections for the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
