In this work, Higgs couplings with gauge bosons is probed through $e^-e^+ rightarrow W^-W^+H$ in an effective Lagrangian framework. An ILC of 500 $GeV$ center of mass energy with possible beam polarization is considered for this purpose. The reach of
ILC with integrated luminosity of 300 $fb^{-1}$ in the determination of both the CP-conserving and CP-violating parameters are obtained. Sensitivity of the probe of each of these couplings on the presence of other couplings is investigated. The most influential couplings parameters are $bar c_W=-bar c_B$. Other parameters of significant effect are $bar c_{HW}$ and $bar c_{HB}$ among the CP-conserving ones, and $tilde c_{HW}$ and $tilde c_{HB}$ among the CP-violating ones. CP-violating parameter, $tilde c_gamma$ seems to have very little influence on the process considered. Detailed study of the angular distributions have presented a way to disentangle the effect of some of these couplings.
The recent discovery of a Higgs boson at LHC, while establishing the Higgs mechanism as the way of electroweak symmetry breaking, started an era of precision measurements involving the Higgs boson. In an effective Lagrangian framework, we consider th
e e+e- --> ZHH process, at an ILC running at a centre of mass energy of 800 GeV to investigate the effect of the ZZH and ZZHH couplings on the sensitivity of HHH coupling on this process. Our results show that the sensitivity of the trilinear Higgs self couplings on this process has somewhat strong dependence on the Higgs-gauge boson couplings. Single and two parameter reach of ILC with integrated luminosity of 1000 /fb are obtained on the effective couplings, c6 and cH, which are related to the HHH couplings, indicating how these limits are affected by the presence of anomalous ZZH and ZZHH couplings. The kinematic distributions studied to understand the effect of the anomalous couplings, again, show strong influence of Z-H couplings on the dependence of these distributions on HHH coupling. Similar results are indicated in the case of the process, e+e- --> nu nu HH, considered at a centre of mass energy of 2 TeV, where the cross section is large enough. The effect of WWH and WWHH couplings on the sensitivity of HHH coupling is clearely established through our analyses of this process.
While the properties of the 125 GeV Higgs boson-like particle observed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations are largely compatible with those predicted for the Standard Model state, significant deviations are present in some cases. We, therefore, test
the viability of a Beyond the Standard Model scenario based on Supersymmetry, the CP-violating Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, against the corresponding experimental observations. Namely, we identify possible model configurations in which one of its Higgs bosons is consistent with the LHC observation and evaluate the role of the explicit complex phases in both the mass and diphoton decay of such a Higgs boson. Through a detailed analysis of some benchmark points corresponding to each of these configurations, we highlight the impact of the CP-violating phases on the model predictions compared to the CP-conserving case.
We investigate the effect of anomalous gamma-W-W couplings in e-gamma --> nu W through the angular and energy spectrum of the secondary leptons. Within the narrow-width approximation, a semi-analytical study of the secondary lepton energy-angle doubl
e distribution is considered. Utility of observables derived from this is demonstrated by considering the anomalous coupling, delta-kappa-gamma. Results of our investigation for typical ILC machine considered at Ecm = 300-1000 GeV re-affirms potential of this collider as a precision machine.
