Reports from Subgroups
------------------------------------
1) ZHH
1-1) HH nunu: 120GeV (Reported by Y.Takubo)
Status:
- sigma_S = 40 ab
- Event selection
Mass cut
Missing Pt
4-b requirement
vertex mass > 1 GeV
- Status of S/B
7.3(ZHH) + 1.8(ZZ) + 420(tt) +20.8(tbtb) + 0(ZH)
4.6 (ZHH) + 1.8(ZZ) + 70(tt) + 10.6 (tbtb) + 0(ZH)
Next Step:
- Increase tt BG statistics
- Try isolated lepton veto
- Look at remaining BG events with event display
- Other decay

1-2) HH qq with Mh=120 GeV
Status:
- sigma_S = 140 ab
sigma_B = ZWW(40fb), hWW(6fb), ZZZ(1fb), hZZ(0.6)
- Event selection (6-jet mode)
-20 < E_miss < 90 GeV
m_jj3 < 120 GeV
b-tag -> btag(3,3)
angle
S/B = 32.5/99.6 = 0.33
-> 3-sigma
-Tried Neural Net
nbtag, btag(jet3), cos(thj1) cos(thj2)
-> 4.5-sigma
Next Step:
- b-tag is essential. --> better to improve
- check jet-pairing
- reject Z -> ll, Z -> nunu beforehand
- use b-tag information for jet pairing
- tune up preselection
- Try cheated jet finder
- Look at tt and ttbb BG
- Z decay at generator level to take into account helicity correlation.

1-3) Mh = 170 GeV, Ecm=750 GeV
Status:
- Tried 100% right-handed polarization
--> seems promising
- Daniel san will leave the group.
C: There is no heavy Higgs study in the past.
It is very important to continue and finish the study.
Next step:
- Find a successor of Daniel san.

------------------------------------
2) ZH subgroup (H.Ono)
Status:
- Full detector simulation, continue with Ecm=250GeV case
- 2-jet mode
Gamma= 6.6 GeV @ 250 GeV (cf 6.42 GeV @ 350 GeV)
C: There is no point of using BW for the signal.
-> HWHM = Gamma/2
- 4-jet mode
Mh distribution is much broader than Ecm=350GeV case.
--> If jet clustering is cheated using generator info, the mass distribution becomes reasonable.
--> The problem is coming from the jet clustering.
--> Tried minimum opening angle cut to avoid mis-clustering.
--> significant improvement.
Compared JadeE and Darham -> Darham seems better.
Gamma=8.8 GeV @ 250 GeV (cf 6.0 GeV @ 350 GeV)
Next step:
- Kinematical fitting.
- BG rejection.
- Realistic PFA.
C: Important to measure decay angular distribution of Z to separate T/L.

------------------------------------
3) TTH (Reported by R.Yonamine)
Status:
l+6-jet mode
- Study with cheated jet finder
--> This sets the ultimate goal of event selection
- Event selection
isolated lepton
mass cut
b-tag
Next Step:
- Study further the ttZ BG
- Realistic jet finder
- tt and ttg BG

------------------------------------
4) AA->HH
4-1) Theory (Reported by D.Harada)
Status:
- non-decoupling loop effect know for top ~ mt^4
- consider this in 2HDM
mphi^2 = lambda v^2 + M^2
--> M=0 (non-decoupling limit) --> mphi all comes from vev.
--> submitted to arXiv yesterday.
Q: heavy fermion effect --> -ve contirbution to self-coupling
as compared to +ve contirbution from heavy higgs.
Next Step:
- How to uncover higgs sector when only the llightest is accessible?

4-2) Exp (Reported by N.Maeda)
Status:
- Sensitivity study
1st assume 100% efficiency for S and no BG
--> E_AA~300 GeV is optimum.
2nd with BG (WW: 90 pb)
--> 10^{-6} suppression for BG is necessary even with 100% efficiency for S
to achieve sensitivity ~ 3.
- Signal study
mass cut, b-tag, ...
- BG study (WW: 90 pb)
generated BG with Grace thanks to Kurihara-san.
- Look at luminosity spectrum.
Next Step:
- BG study:
cross section, detector simulation, analysis
- Take into account luminosity distirbution with CAIN (so far delta fun).
Q: Why chose Grace instead of Madgraph?
A: There is an expert at KEK.
C: We compared Madgraph and Grace and found them consistent.
C: At this moment, it is easier to extract MC truth from Grace than from Madgraph.

------------------------------------
5) LHT
5-1) Exp: e+e- -> Z_H A_H (Reported by T.Kusano)
Goal: mass, cross section determinations
-> m(AH) from missing mass
-> m(AH) and m(ZH) from E(h) min and max.
- Z_H -> A_H + h (100%) @ 500 GeV
AH=82GeV, ZH=369GeV, h=134 GeV
sigma_S=1.9fb
Status:
- ZZ -> bbnunu BG study
bbnunu ~ 100fb
cf) beam pol no use since both S and B couple to eL.
- event selection
Mh cut, cos(th) cut, beta_h cut
cf) b-tag is not effective! (BR(h->bb)=55%)
--> S/sqrt{B} = 9
--> S/sqrt{B} = 5.5 w/o beta_h cut
C: F can already be detemined.
Q: Other BG?
cc nunu, tt, ZZ-> nunu jj
C: tt should be accompanied with isolated leptons.
C: b-tag should be useful for ZZ-> nunu + qq (q=light quark)
- p(h) dependent angular distribution.
-> still correlation is insufficient for spin analysis.
Nest Step:
- BG study.
- Determine F from cross section.
- Remove h to WW followed by W->l nu mis-identified as h -> 2jets.
- Try BG subtraction for mass determination.

5-2) Exp: e+e- -> W_H W_H (Reported by R.Sasaki)
Goal:
Mass, spin, cross section determinations
- m(WH) = 368 GeV, m(AH) =82 GeV, 1TeV
sigma_S=122 fb
Status:
- Wiht detector simulation studying event selection to fight WW BG.
mW chi2 cut, missing PT --> S/B = 7
Next step:
- Investigate past chargino studies.
- BG study.

5-3) Theory (Reported by S.Matsumoto)
Status:
- Little hierarchy: global SU(5) -> SO(5) : H as pseudo NG boson
--> T odd LH partners + T+ + Triplet Higgs
--> T+/T- should be relatively light to cancel radiative correction to Mh
and detectable at LHC.
T+ -> W+b 51%, Zt 21%, ht 16%, T- AH 12%
--> delta MT = 10~20 GeV
mixing 5~10%
- DM abandance prediction possible but f has to be determined reasonably well.
Next Step:
C: Should consider A_H decay (T-parity violation via anomaly).
- AH -> boson bson (e.g. Z gamma)
- eH- eH+ pair production
- t T+ threshold

------------------------------------
6) New physics subgroup
6-1) Theory (Reported by H.Itoh)
LOI benchmark analysis (top & tau) -> Physics
Status:
- investigating possible models.
- Flavor dependent Z' models: Y = Y1 +Y2 --> coupling to Z' is flavor-dependent in general.
--> Possible to make 3rd generation very different from the 1st and the 2nd.
See Chen & Okada: arXiv: 0808.0331for details.
- Use beam pol., decompose differential cross sections to helicitie states.
--> Seems easy to see the Z' effect @ Ecm=500 GeV for MZ'=1.5TeV.
C: Consider two cases (i) signal seen at LHC (ii) no signal at LHC (tau or MZ' too heavy)
- Dark Higgs doublet (Z2 parity odd)
--> loop level seesaw.
--> DM candidate (eta_I)
--> H -> eta_I eta_I possible in some region. --> H becomes invisible.
J=1/2: chi^{+/-}, J=1: WH^{+/-}, J=0: eta^{+/-}
--> eta+ eta- pair production, eta_I eta_R production.
--> J=0,1/2,1 discrimination through angular analysis
C: Yukawa forbidden by Z2 parity.
--> eta couples only to gauge bosons.
Next Step:
- Generator preparation.

6-2) Exp (Reported by T.Suehara)
Status:
- SUSY
chargino/neutralino separation (chargino -> W+LSP, neutralino -> Z+LSP)
--> mass fit --> delta M < 1 GeV with 500 fb^{-1}
smuon pair
--> no problem.
- tau+tau- @ Ecm=500 GeV (sigma=2.3pb)
sigma, dsigma/dcos(th), A_FB, A_pol
tau -> l nu nu, pi nu, rho nu for polarization measurements.
--> delta A_FB < 0.2% with 500 fb^{-1}
--> delta A_pol < 0.8% (from tau -> pi nu)
Next:
- Translate experimental precision to parameter errors.

6-3) Exp (Reported by K.Ikematsu)
e+e- -> ttbar full simulator study
Status:
- Tool (M@rs) development for full MC analysis
- ttbar analysis with M@rs + LCFIvertex
--> b-tagging needs to be retuned for multi-jet final states.
--> top mass reconstruction seems promising.
Next Step:
- still in the tool develepment phase.
- l+4-jet mode.
