The signal for a highly boosted heavy resonance competing against a background of light parton jets at the LHC can be enhanced by analyzing subjets in the fat jet that possibly contains the heavy resonance. Three methods for doing this are known as filtering, pruning, and trimming. We study the possibility of combining these methods using a relative likelihood approach. We find that, because the methods are not the same, one achieves an enhanced statistical power by combining them. We illustrate the possibilities first with a simple problem of combining trimming and pruning to enhance the signal for finding a boosted top quark. We then study the more difficult problem of disentangling from the background the signal for the production of a Higgs boson in association with a Z-boson. For this problem, we combine filtering, trimming, and pruning.

We study the process $e^-e^+to ZH$ where $H$ represents the standard model (SM) Higgs particle $H_{SM}$, or the MSSM ones $h^0$ and $H^0$. In each case, we compute the one-loop effects and establish very simple expressions, called supersimple (sim), for the helicity conserving (dominant) and the helicity violating (suppressed) amplitudes. Such expressions, are then used to construct various cross sections and asymmetries, involving polarized or unpolarized beams and Z-polarization measurements. We examine the adequacy of such expressions to distinguish SM or MSSM effects, from other types of BSM (beyond the standard model) contributions.
The future 100 TeV FCC-hh hadron collider will give access to rare but clean final states which are out of reach of the HL-LHC. One such process is the $Zh$ production channel in the $( ubar{ u} / ell^{+}ell^{-})gammagamma$ final states. We study the sensitivity of this channel to the $mathcal{O}_{varphi q}^{(1)}$, $mathcal{O}_{varphi q}^{(3)}$, $mathcal{O}_{varphi u}$, and $mathcal{O}_{varphi d}$ SMEFT operators, which parametrize deviations of the $W$ and $Z$ couplings to quarks, or, equivalently, anomalous trilinear gauge couplings (aTGC). While our analysis shows that good sensitivity is only achievable for $mathcal{O}_{varphi q}^{(3)}$, we demonstrate that binning in the $Zh$ rapidity has the potential to improve the reach on $mathcal{O}_{varphi q}^{(1)}$. Our estimated bounds are one order of magnitude better than projections at HL-LHC and is better than global fits at future lepton colliders. The sensitivity to $mathcal{O}_{varphi q}^{(3)}$ is competitive with other channels that could probe the same operator at FCC-hh. Therefore, combining the different diboson channels sizeably improves the bound on $mathcal{O}_{varphi q}^{(3)}$, reaching a precision of $|delta g_{1z}| lesssim 2 times 10^{-4}$ on the deviations in the $ZWW$ interactions.
We elaborate on GoSam, a code-writer for automated one-loop calculations. After recalling its main features, we present a selection of phenomenological results recently obtained, giving relevance at the evaluation of NLO QCD corrections to the produc tion of a Higgs boson in association with jets and heavy quarks.
The paper describes high-precision theoretical predictions obtained for the cross sections of the process $e^+e^- to ZH$ for future electron-positron colliders. The calculations performed using the SANC platform taking into account the full contribut ion of one-loop electroweak radiative corrections, as well as longitudinal polarization of the initial beams. Numerical results are given for the energy range $E_{cm}=250$ GeV - $1000$ GeV with various polarization degrees.
Despite the discovery of the Higgs boson decay in five separate channels many parameters of the Higgs boson remain largely unconstrained. In this paper, we present a new approach to constraining the Higgs total width by requiring the Higgs to be reso lved as a single high p$_T$ jet and measuring the inclusive Higgs boson cross section. To measure the inclusive Higgs boson cross section, we rely on new approaches from machine learning and a modified jet reconstruction. This approach is found to be complementary to the existing off-shell width measurement and, with the full HL-LHC luminosity, is capable of yielding similar sensitivity to the off-shell projections. We outline the theoretical and experimental limitations and present a path towards making this approach a truly model-independent measurement of the Higgs boson total width.
