Opening Comments

------------------------------------
[A] Higgs Related Topics
------------------------------------
1) ZH analysis: main decay modes (H.Ono)
Status:
- DBD physics chapter
- A list of topics to cover shown.
H -> bb, cc, gg: done --> draft final-epsilon
Kawada @ Hiroshima has been assigned to work on H->tau+tau-.
- h->bb,cc,gg
Found a slight problem in the MC sample (redoing the analysis, to be finished soon)
dBr/Br = 2.7% (bb), 7.3% (cc), 8.9% (gg) for mh=120GeV
3.0% (bb), 8.2% (cc), 9.5% (gg) for mh=125GeV
- H->WW* study (with one W*->lnu)
dBr/Br = 10.6%(l+2j) 13.2% (4j), 8.4% (combined) for mh=120GeV -> 7.2% (mh=125GeV)
- H->ZZ*
on going.
- Spin measurement
on going.
- Invisible width
on going.
Next Step:
- Publication of H->bb,cc,gg: soon
- H->ZZ*, spin measurement, invisible width
- nnH @ 1TeV

2) Theory: Extended SUSY Higgs Sector and EW Baryogenesis (T.Shindou)
Ref.: PLB706
- B, B-L -> B (sphaleron era) at high T
or B generated in 1st order EW phase transition.
- 1st order EW phase transition --> Bubble in vacuum. -> The wall violates baryon number.
In sphaleron transition conserves B-L. --> If it's too strong it will wash out B.
At the same time, the 1st order phase transition should be strong enough to produce B.
--> In SM mh<60GeV: already excluded.
phi_c/T_c \propto 1/mh^2 > 1
--> In MSSM: light stop is necessary for strong enough 1st order phase transition
--> W = lambda Phi_u,d Phi'_1 Phi'_2 (inert Higgs) preferred.
2 Z_2 even (MSSM) doublets + 2 new Z_2 odd doublets + 2 Z_2 odd charged singlets
--> Anomaly in the lamba_hhh coupling!
--> many charged but non-colored particles
--> strong coupling theory with a light Higgs.
--> Landau pole at around Lambda_H = 1~10TeV --> SU(2)_H SUSY QCD beyond Lambda_H
Q: Is perturbation theory valid?
Q: Is Z_2 exact?

3) ZHH (Junping Tian)
Status:
- Perfect jet-clustering (perfect color single clustering + perfect flavor tagging)
delta sigma/sigma = 20%
- New flavor tagging
Idea: vertexing before jet clustering
After vertexing there are two options:
a) use vertices as jet cores --> enhances not only signal efficiency but also BG efficiency
b) treat particles from a single vertex as a single particle and apply usual jet clustering
--> (b) turned out to be the better option.
--> qqhh: S:9.2 B:11
--> 8.5(9.2) 11.7(11) --> 1.9 (2.1)sigma
--> 2.3 (2.6) sigma
- Color singlet clustering
Idea: define likelihood for each combination of mini-jets in each event.
Fact: delta mh increases rapidly at around the number of mini-jets becomes around 20.
Next Step:
- Continue working on the color single clustering.

4) Radiative seesaw model from a TeV scale U(1)B-L (T.ZNabeshima)
gauge symmetry breaking
- Motivation:
U(1)B-L gauge symmetry:
common origin to tiny neutrino masses, DM mass, and stability of DM.
- Physical states
h, H, S1, S2, eta+/-
- Signals:
LHC: Z'(1-10TeV), Z'->invisible (30%)
70fb at Ecm=14TeV for mZ'=2TeV and g_{B-L}=0.2
ILC: e+e- -> e+ eta^- -> e+/- Psi_1 + Psi_1 + l-/+
--> l+missing
l=mu: M_DM <~ 64GeV --> 3-sigma signal @ 350GeV (1ab^-1)
--> 5-sigma signal @ 500GeV (1ab^-1)
l=tau: cross section is 100 times larger.
: NR @ 3-sigma level at Ecm=1TeV (3ab^-1)
C: e+e- -> eta+ eta- should be easy to study at ILC. It is like smuon pair production.

5) Renormalization of the Higgs Triplet Model (M.Kikuchi)
Ref.: arXiv:1204.1951
- Introduction
Mnu, DM, #B
--> Minimal H in SM is just an assumption.
--> Many variation of extensions of the Higgs sector depending on new physics
Type II seesaw for tiny Mnu:
Type II seesaw = SM + one triplet H
--> H++/--, H+/-, A, H in addition to SM-like h
--> rho \ne 1, renormalization of mixing angles, L violation
In SM, no nuR --> no Dirac mass
hyper charge --> no Majorana mass
--> veb_triplet should be small.
--> Interesting mass relation between triplet mass and doublet mass:
m_H++^2 - m_H+^2 = m_H+^2 - m_A^2 (exact in tree level if vev of triplet=0)
dev of triplet = O(1GeV) from precision EW studies.
- Phenomenology
No studies in the past for the large mass difference case (delta m=30GeV)
--> Case I: H++ < H+ < A,H
Case II: A,H < H+ < H++
--> Cascade decays
--> End point of transverse mass --> m_triplet
--> Possible to measure all the triplet masses at LHC.
- Radiative Correction of the Triplet Higgs Model
Radiative correction to the mass relation
8 parameters for the potential
8 physical parameters
20 counter terms
--> Case I: mh=125GeV, alpha=0 (CP even mixing) with delta m :=(m_H++-m_H+)
--> delta m~100GeV, m_H++~O(100GeV) --> delta R = O(10%): fun. of lambda4 and lambda5.
- Radiative Correction to hhh coupling
--> Case I: mh=125GeV, alpha=0
--> delta ghhh/ghhh > O(25%)
Q: What is the mass limit on H++?
A: The current LHC limit of 300GeV assumes H++ -> leptons, which is no longer correct
if H++ cascade decays for the large mass difference case considered here.

6) TTH Subgroup (R.Yonamine)
Status:
- Working on to full simulation for Ecm=500GeV, mh=120GeV, mt=175GeV
new feature: more realistic lepton ID, b-tagging.
- BG: ttZ, ttg* (g*->bbbar), tt
Q: Is btw included?
A: Judging from the cross section
- Results with the cut-based analysis
l+6J --> 3.1(3.7)-sigma for 1ab^-1 (fast sim results)
8J --> 3.4(3.7)-sigma for 1ab^-1
- Results with likelihood analysis
One mystery:
The helicity angle distribution of the H decay after pre-selection is not flat!
(pre-selection = isolated lepton ID)
l+6J --> 3.2-sigma
8J --> 3.8-sigma
--> delta gt/gt = 10%
- ttZ problem:
Fast simulation result was an over-estimate due to the old QCD correction table.
Next Step:
- Investigate the problem with the helicity angle distribution.
- Investigate the tbW BG.
C: Try other classifiers.

7) Strongly Coupled Higgs Sector in SUSY Models (T.Yamada)
- Introduction
Def. strong <=> Landau pole below Lambda_Planck
mh=125GeV
4 ways to enhance the Higgs mass
Loop
^
I) MSSM w/top-stop loop only | III) Today's talk
Weak <-------------------------------------------------------------> Strong
II) NMSSM w/ singlet N | IV) Fat Higgs w/ singlet N:
W incl. lambda N Hu Hd |
lambda <0.5 V lambda~2
Tree
- UV Theory
SUSY SU(2)_H gauge theory with 6 doublets = 3 pairs of doublets w/ a new Z_2 parity
g_H (QCD-like) blows up at Lambda_H --> Below Lambda_H --> pion theory like
--> Can estimate lambda(Mz) which is about 2.
--> Hu, Hd, Phi_u, Phi_d,
N, N_Phi, N_Omega: SU(2) doublet
zeta, eta : SU(2) singlet
Omega^+/- : SU(2) singlet (2 charged singlets)
--> All higgs couplings are given by lambda (determined by the underlying gauge theory)
--> In SUSY limit, EW symmetry is unbroken.
--> Lambda_H <~ 4pi x 1TeV (SUSY tadpole problem)
Another solution is to assign Z_6 parity to T_1, …, T_6.
- Extension of the theory (addition of one Z_2 even SU(2)_H, SM singlet: S)
--> no HuHd term after integrating out S and N. (M_N ~ Lambda_H)
--> no tree level enhancement of mh by large lambda.
--> but just strong enough to realize mh=125GeV in the loop level.
- Phenomenology
Under studies.
--> Br(h->VV), V=gamma, W, Z will be affected by multiple extra Higgses that strongly couple to h.
--> Large tadpole (Lambda_H^2/4pi) can be large and make mu-terms large --> extra Higgs bosons
and Higgsinos can decouple.
--> huh coupling should significantly deviate from the SM value.
--> The lightest Z_2-odd particle can be stable. --> DM.

*) Many thanks to Okada-san for having been guiding the working group activities as one of the conveners
for such a long time. Many thanks also to his successor, Nojiri-san, who will take over his role.
We hope Okada-san will keep attending this meeting, though he must be very busy now being a KEK trustee.
Meeting Schedule:
