QED radiative corrections to the cross-section of muon-antimuon annihilation into Higgs boson and photon are calculated within the 1-loop approximation. We write down the expression for cross-section in the form of Drell-Yan process, taking into account higher order leading logs. The non-singlet structure functions of fermions are shown to obey here evolution equations of twist-3 operators. Numerical estimation shows an importance of the correction in the region close to the threshold of Higgs production.
In this present paper, we investigate the muon pairs production in the interaction between two quasireal photons in $e^+e^-$ collision. The total and differential cross section of the process $gamma gamma to mu^+mu^-$ at a beam energy of photons from 3 GeV to 40 GeV in the center-of-mass and for different values of muon transverse momentum and the muon rapidity and the muon angle are calculated. We also study the total cross section, as a function of the $e^+ e^-$ center-of-mass energy $sqrt {s}$ in the region 5 GeV $leq sqrt {s} leq$ 209 GeV process of the $e^+ +e^- to e^+ + e^- +mu^+ + mu^-$ by the two-photon mechanism. The obtained our results are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.
We consider the case that $mu$-$e$ conversion signal is discovered but other charged lepton flavor violating (cLFV) processes will never be found. In such a case, we need other approaches to confirm the $mu$-$e$ conversion and its underlying physics without conventional cLFV searches. We study R-parity violating (RPV) SUSY models as a benchmark. We briefly review that our interesting case is realized in RPV SUSY models with reasonable settings according to current theoretical/experimental status. We focus on the exotic collider signatures at the LHC ($pp to mu^- e^+$ and $pp to jj$) as the other approaches. We show the correlations between the branching ratio of $mu$-$e$ conversion process and cross sections of these processes. It is first time that the correlations are graphically shown. We exhibit the RPV parameter dependence of the branching ratio and the cross sections, and discuss the feasibility to determine the parameters.
We study the prospects of measurement of the branching ratio of $h to mu ^+ mu ^-$ at the International Linear Collider (ILC). The study is performed at center-of-mass energies of 250 GeV and 500 GeV, using fully-simulated MC samples with the International Large Detector (ILD) model. For both center-of-mass energies, the two final states $qoverline{q}h$ and $ u overline{ u}h$ have been analyzed. For an integrated luminosity of 2000 fb$^{-1}$ at 250 GeV and 4000 fb$^{-1}$ at 500 GeV, corresponding to the H20 running scenario as well as its staged version, the precision on $sigma times mathrm{BR}(h to mu ^+ mu ^-)$ is estimated.
Measuring the 2S-2P Lamb shift in a hydrogen-like muonic atom allows one to extract its nuclear charge radius with a high precision that is limited by the uncertainty in the nuclear structure corrections. The charge radius of the proton thus extracted was found to be 7-sigma away from the CODATA value, in what has become the yet unsolved proton radius puzzle. Further experiments currently aim at the isotopes of hydrogen and helium: the precise extraction of their radii may provide a hint at the solution of the puzzle. We present the first ab initio calculation of nuclear structure corrections, including the nuclear polarization correction, to the 2S-2P transition in $mu^3$He$^+$ and $mu^3$H, and assess solid theoretical error bars. Our predictions reduce the uncertainty in the nuclear structure corrections to the level of a few percents and will be instrumental to the on-going $mu^3$He$^+$ experiment. We also support the mirror $mu,^3$H system as a candidate for further probing of the nucleon polarizabilities and shedding more light on the puzzle.
The first complete calculation of the next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to four-lepton production at the LHC is presented, where all off-shell effects of intermediate Z bosons and photons are taken into account. Focusing on the mixed final state $mu^+mu^-e^+e^-$, we study differential cross sections that are particularly interesting for Higgs-boson analyses. The electroweak corrections are divided into photonic and purely weak corrections. The former exhibit patterns familiar from similar W/Z-boson production processes with very large radiative tails near resonances and kinematical shoulders. The weak corrections are of the generic size of 5% and show interesting variations, in particular a sign change between the regions of resonant Z-pair production and the Higgs signal.
