The Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is a future Higgs factory proposed by the Chinese high energy physics community. It will operate at a center-of-mass energy of 240-250 GeV. The CEPC will accumulate an integrated luminosity of 5 ab$^{rm{-1}}$ in ten years operation, producing one million Higgs bosons via the Higgsstrahlung and vector boson fusion processes. This sample allows a percent or even sub-percent level determination of the Higgs boson couplings. With GEANT4-based full simulation and dedicated fast simulation tool, we evaluated the statistical precisions of the Higgstrahlung cross section $sigma_{ZH}$ and the Higgs mass $m_{H}$ measurement at the CEPC in the $Zrightarrowmu^+mu^-$ channel. The statistical precision of $sigma_{ZH}$ ($m_{H}$) measurement could reach 0.97% (6.9 MeV) in the model-independent analysis which uses only the information of Z boson decay. For the standard model Higgs boson, the $m_{H}$ precision could be improved to 5.4 MeV by including the information of Higgs decays. Impact of the TPC size to these measurements is investigated. In addition, we studied the prospect of measuring the Higgs boson decaying into invisible final states at the CEPC. With the standard model $ZH$ production rate, the upper limit of ${cal B}(Hrightarrow rm{inv.})$ could reach 1.2% at 95% confidence level.

The discovery of the Higgs boson with its mass around 125 GeV by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations marked the beginning of a new era in high energy physics. The Higgs boson will be the subject of extensive studies of the ongoing LHC program. At the sa me time, lepton collider based Higgs factories have been proposed as a possible next step beyond the LHC, with its main goal to precisely measure the properties of the Higgs boson and probe potential new physics associated with the Higgs boson. The Circular Electron Positron Collider~(CEPC) is one of such proposed Higgs factories. The CEPC is an $e^+e^-$ circular collider proposed by and to be hosted in China. Located in a tunnel of approximately 100~km in circumference, it will operate at a center-of-mass energy of 240~GeV as the Higgs factory. In this paper, we present the first estimates on the precision of the Higgs boson property measurements achievable at the CEPC and discuss implications of these measurements.
An accurate determination of the Higgsstrahlung cross section is one of the main objectives at a future electron-positron collider. It allows for the only Higgs boson decay model independent measurement of the total Higgs width. Current results use t he recoil mass shape method. That technique can be applied to Higgsstrahlung events with Z boson decays into muons, into electrons and, with reservations, into quarks. The samples built from Higgsstrahlung events with Z boson decays into taus and neutrinos are not used in previous analyses. We present here a new method, the reference sample method. It extends the recoil mass method to be usable with the tau and neutrino samples as well. The extension promises a model independent determination of the inclusive Higgsstrahlung cross section with a 2.1-2.2% uncertainty from each of the two ILC polarization scenarios at $sqrt{s}$=250 GeV with an integrated luminosity of 250 $mathrm{fb^{-1}}$. This represents an improvement of 20-30% on the accuracy from the application of the new approach without additional data collection.
This paper presents a full simulation study of the measurement of the production cross section ($sigma_{mathrm{ZH}}$) of the Higgsstrahlung process $mathrm{e^{+}e^{-}rightarrow ZH}$ and the Higgs boson mass ($M_{mathrm{H}}$) at the International Line ar Collider (ILC), using events in which a Higgs boson recoils against a Z boson decaying into a pair of muons or electrons. The analysis is carried out for three center-of-mass energies $sqrt{s}$ = 250, 350, and 500 GeV, and two beam polarizations $mathrm{e_{L}^{-}e_{R}^{+}}$ and $mathrm{e_{R}^{-}e_{L}^{+}}$, for which the polarizations of $mathrm{e^{-}}$ and $mathrm{e^{+}}$ are $left(Pmathrm{e^{-}},Pmathrm{e^{+}}right)$ =($-$80%, +30%) and (+80%, $-$30%), respectively. Assuming an integrated luminosity of 250 $mathrm{fb^{-1}}$ for each beam polarization at $sqrt{s}$ = 250 GeV, where the best lepton momentum resolution is obtainable, $sigma_{mathrm{ZH}}$ and $M_{mathrm{H}}$ can be determined with a precision of 2.5% and 37 MeV for $mathrm{e_{L}^{-}e_{R}^{+}}$ and 2.9% and 41 MeV for $mathrm{e_{R}^{-}e_{L}^{+}}$, respectively. Regarding a 20 year ILC physics program, the expected precisions for the $mathrm{HZZ}$ coupling and $M_{mathrm{H}}$ are estimated to be 0.4% and 14 MeV, respectively. The event selection is designed to optimize the precisions of $sigma_{mathrm{ZH}}$ and $M_{mathrm{H}}$ while minimizing the bias on the measured $sigma_{mathrm{ZH}}$ due to discrepancy in signal efficiencies among Higgs decay modes. For the first time, model independence has been demonstrated to a sub-percent level for the $sigma_{mathrm{ZH}}$ measurement at each of the three center-of-mass energies. The results presented show the impact of center-of-mass energy and beam polarization on the evaluated precisons and serve as a benchmark for the planning of the ILC run scenario.
The existence of dark matter has been established in astrophysics. However, there is no candidate for DM in the Stand Model (SM). In SM, the Higgs boson can only decay invisibly via $Hrightarrow ZZ^ast rightarrow ubar{ u} ubar{ u}$ or DM, so any evi dence of invisible Higgs decay that exceeds BR (H$rightarrow$inv.) will immediately point to a phenomenon that is beyond the standard model (BSM). In this paper, we report on the upper limit of BR (H$rightarrow$invisible) estimated for three channels, including two leptonic channels and one hadronic channel, under the assumption predicted by SM. With the SM ZH production rate, the upper limit of BR (H$rightarrow$inv.) could reach 0.24% at the 95% confidence level.
The investigation of the properties of a Higgs boson, especially a test of the predicted linear dependence of the branching ratios on the mass of the final state, is currently one of the most compelling arguments for building a linear collider. We de monstrate that the large Higgs boson production cross section at a 3 TeV CLIC machine allows for a precision measurement of the Higgs branching ratios. The cross section times branching ratio of the decays H rightarrow b^{-}b, H rightarrow cc^{-} and H rightarrow {mu}{mu} can be measured with a statistical uncertainty of 0.22%, 3.2% and 15%, respectively.
