Detecting the Higgs in purely leptonic decay modes

  • 1. Dept. of Physics, Univ. of California, Davis, CA 95616

Description

The authors outline the procedures required in order to detect a high mass, standard model Higgs boson in purely leptonic decay modes. They consider a variety of masses, m/sub H/, above the two-Z threshold, m/sub H/>2 m/sub Z/, at center of mass energy, √s = 40 TeV. Rough estimates of cross sections, event rates, and errors as a function of luminosity are given. They emphasize the importance of simultaneous measurement of the WZ continuum in order to normalize the background. A high luminosity interaction region would be enormously helpful
