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 pro duction 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.
We report the results of a search for a light pseudoscalar particle $a$ that couples to electrons and decays to $e^+e^-$ performed using the high-energy CERN SPS H4 electron beam. If such pseudoscalar with a mass $simeq 17$ MeV exists, it could expla in the ATOMKI anomaly. We used the NA64 data samples collected in the visible mode configuration with total statistics corresponding to $8.4times 10^{10}$ electrons on target (EOT) in 2017 and 2018. In order to increase sensitivity to small coupling parameter $epsilon$ we used also the data collected in 2016-2018 in the invisible mode configuration of NA64 with a total statistics corresponding to $2.84times 10^{11}$ EOT. A thorough analysis of both these data samples in the sense of background and efficiency estimations was already performed and reported in our previous papers devoted to the search for light vector particles and axion-like particles (ALP). In this work we recalculate the signal yields, which are different due to different cross section and life time of a pseudoscalar particle $a$, and perform a new statistical analysis. As a result, the region of the two dimensional parameter space $m_a - epsilon$ in the mass range from 1 to 17.1 MeV is excluded. At the mass of the ATOMKI anomaly the values of $epsilon$ in the range $2.1 times 10^{-4} < epsilon < 3.2 times 10^{-4}$ are excluded.
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.
A search for the production and non-standard decay of a Higgs boson, h, into four taus through intermediate pseudoscalars, a, is conducted on 683 pb-1 of data collected by the ALEPH experiment at centre-of-mass energies from 183 to 209 GeV. No excess of events above background is observed, and exclusion limits are placed on the combined production cross section times branching ratio, xi^2 = sigma(e+e- --> Zh)/sigma_{SM}(e+e- --> Zh) x B(h --> aa)x B(a --> tau^+tau^-)^2. For mh < 107 GeV/c2 and 4 < ma < 10 GeV/c2, xi^2 > 1 is excluded at the 95% confidence level.
A search is presented for massive long-lived particles, in the 20-60 GeV mass range with lifetimes between 5 and 100 ps. The dataset used corresponds to 0.62 1fb of proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb detector at sqrt(s)=7 TeV. The par ticles are assumed to be pair-produced by the decay of a Higgs-like boson with mass between 80 and 140 GeV. No excess above the background expectation is observed and limits are set on the production cross-section as a function of the long-lived particle mass and lifetime and of the Higgs-like boson mass.
