Opening Comments
------------------------------------
1) ZH analysis: main decay modes (H.Ono)
Status:
- BR studies (bb, cc, gg)
- arXiv:1207.0300v1 --> to be submitted to EPJ
- Input to DBD physics chapter
- Update mh to 125GeV.
- Use LHC HDECAY-based BRs instead of Pythia-based ones.
- 1TeV analyses
- Extrapolation from 120GeV to 125GeV: (250fb^-1@250GeV)
delta (sigmaxBR)/(sigmaxBR)
----------------
1.0% -> 1.1 (bb)
7.6% -> 8.5 (cc)
6.7% -> 7.2 (gg)
8.4% -> 7.2 (WW)
----------------
- Invisible BR
BR=1.1% @ 95CL
5sigma observation @ BR=2.8%
Next Step:
- 1TeV analysis for LCWS12 (priority).
- Publication of H->bb,cc,gg: very soon.
- H->WW*, ZZ*

2) Measurements of tan(beta) in 2HDMs (K.Tsumura)
- Introduction:
Softly Z2 broken 2HDM --> 5 degrees of freedom left
* m^2_H,A,H+/- ~ M^2 + lambda v^2/2
* sin(beta-alpha) <-> VVH
* tan(beta) = v2/v1
- LHC data suggests sin(beta-alpha) ~ 1
- FCNC -> 4 types if extra Z2 parity is imposed.
- Type-II
g_Hbb ~ m_b tan(beta) sin(beta-alpha)
g_Htt ~ m_t cot(beta) sin(beta-alpha)
- LHC's H search
production: bbH followed by H->tau tau
-> small mA large tan(beta) region has been excluded.
- ILC
sigma(HA) pronto tan^2(beta) -> not useful considering LHC limit
BR(H/A->bb) loses sensitivity to tan(beta) if tan(beta)>>1 since (H->bb becomes almost 100%)
Gamma_H,A propto tan^2(beta) -> not useful considering LHC limit
--> Not very much room left for ILC.
- Type-X
No strong constraint from LHC as compared to the Type-II case.
- ILC
tau tau for this type
BR, Gamma_H,A also useful since the allowed parameter space is much wider.
- Future direction
Other types.

3) ZH analysis: rare modes, H->AA (C.Calancha)
Status:
- Z->H->gamma gamma @ Ecm=250GeV
sigma*BR(H->AA) = 320fb * 0.3% = 0.9fb --> 240 ev
BG: qqaa or qqaa: 2000 times larger than the signal
Z->ll,qq, nunu
- Full simulation study (w/ LOI samples)
- Preselection
2 isolated neutral (photon-like) PFOs (ecalE/(ecalE+hcalE), E/p)
90 < maa < 150GeV
Z->qq selection
72 < mjj < 102.5GeV
Npfo > 30
pt_h > 35GeV
cos(theta_a-h) < 0.85
Z->nunu selection
pt_h > 35GeV
cos(theta_a-h) < 0.85
- Count the number of events in the mass window: (115,125) (mh=120GeV)
--> delta (sigma x BR) / sigma x BR = 35%
Next step:
- Use cos(theta_Z) and and cos(theta_j) in Z decay.
- h->mu mu @ 1TeV before (h->Za)

4) ZH analysis: H->tau+tau- (S.Kawada)
Status:
- Z->H->tau+tau- @ Ecm=250GeV 250fb^-1, P(e+,e-)=(+0.3,-0.8)
- Full simulation study (w/ LOI samples)
1st step: (Z->ll)
delta (sigma x BR) / (sigma x BR) = 16% (w/o requiring isolation for leptons)
Next step:
- Improve isolated lepton selection
- Improve jet clustering for taus
- Cut optimization
- Z->qq
- Results by LCWS12

5) Inflation and DM in a radiative seesaw model (T.ZNabeshima)
gauge symmetry breaking
- Introduction:
Omega_0 = 1.002 +/- 0.011 --> Omega_p - 1 < )(10^-6) but why? : flatness problem
Horizon problem: CMB anisotropy
--> Inflation
Is Higgs inflation possible
--> xi = 5 x 10^4 sqrt(lambda) can satisfy the slow-roll condition.
--> but there are two problems:
unitarity -> E cannot reach M_p --> new extra heavy particle
Vacuum stability broken at O(10^10) GeV --> extended Higgs
--> Inert doublet model
--> mh=126, mH+/-=138.5, mH=150, mA=65GeV
- Questions/Comments
- How can we make sure that this is really related to inflation?
--> parameter values are constrained rather strictly to allow inflation.

6) ZHH (Junping Tian)
Status:
- New weighting method:
dsigma(x)/dx = B(x) + lambda I(x) + lambda*2 S(x)
--> Found a general solution for weighting function:
w_0(x) = const x (I(x)+2S(x))/sigma(x)
--> delta lambda/lambda = 1.8 x delta sigma /sigma
--> 1.66 x delta sigma / sigma --> 7-8% improvement at 500 GeV (ZHH)
--> delta lambda/lambda = 0.85 x delta sigma /sigma
--> 0.76 x delta sigma / sigma --> 11% improvement
at 1000 GeV (nnHH)
- nunuHH at 1TeV with new fast sim sample with modern flavor tagging TMVA analysis resulted in much better separation of signal from BG.
--> delta lambda / lambda = 16% w/o nnZH and ttH BG (2ab^-1)
--> delta lambda / lambda ~ 20% if these BGs are included
- Global analysis for Higgs coupling determinations
--> Relative errors on
hzz: 1.25%
hww: 1.35%
hbb: 1.94%
hcc: 2.53%
hgg: 2.79%
htautau: 2.54%
haa: 6.80%
Gamma_tot: 5.96%
Next Step:
- 120 -> 125GeV
- Theorists should start thinking about how to improve theoretical ambiguities due to QCD loop corrections and mb, etc.

7) Higgs phenomenology of the SUSY-GUT broken by the Hosotani mechanism (T.Yamashita)
- Ref: PRD84, 115016 (2011)
- Outline:
SGGHU (Supersymmetric grand gauge-Higgs unification)
--> doublet-triplet (DT) splitting problem naturally solved
- SGGHU:
Hosotani mechanism
vev of zero mode of A5 breaks symmetry.
A5 is massless at tree level (since it is from gauge field)
--> A5 aquires a mass of O(mSB) via loop. -> 1TeV (if SUSY)
--> Light adjoints: Sigma_1, Sigma_2, Sigma_3
--> These adjoint matters disturb gauge coupling unification.
--> Addition of extra vector-like matter fields can recover the unification.
--> QCD is no longer asymptotic free!
--> squarks and octet become rather heavy.
--> colorless fields may be still light.
--> 126GeV Higgs is OK in this model.
- Effective SGGHU theory
Singlet (S) and Triplet (Delta)
--> no 4-point self coupling (gauge coupling)
--> 3-point self coupling from gauge coupling
lambda_Delta = 2 sqrt(5/3) lambda_S = g_1,2,3 @ GUT scale.
Lambda_Delta=1.1 lambda_S=0.26
--> Testable deviations (a few %) from SM or MSSM.
- Comments:
What about investigate the allowed mass range for colorless particles after the 14TeV LHC runs.

8) TT Subgroup (T.Horiguchi)
Status:
- Reviewing threshold physics.
Threshold scan, AFB, top momentum distribution
- Generated 20k signal events with physic, processed with Mokka and Marlin
- Reading analysis code for ZHH and TTH.
Next Step:
- Top reconstruction by next week.
- WW BG study in 4 weeks.
- Top Yukawa measurements in 6 weeks.
