• The experimental observation of one (or several) Higgs bosons will be fundamental to understand the mechanism of electroweak symmetry-breaking and may probe physics beyond the SM..
• LHC offers the potential for such a discovery.
• There is a very rich variety of search channels for the discovery of the SM Higgs and even more for the non-SM Higgs bosons. An overview of the most relevant channels will be given.
• It must be stated from the beginning that the “all hadronic” states are impossible to separate from the background and very difficult to be triggered.
• Very good understanding of the detector is mandatory !

SM Higgs at the TeV scale Many theoretical arguments predict a Higgs mass at the TeV scale: WW scattering violates unitarity if only Z/ are exchanged
For Higgs to be able to restore it at any s: GFm2H ~< O(1)
Triviality bound: Scalar sector is a 4 theory
Energy cut off C where SM is not trivial C~1016(3)GeV mH<200(1000) GeV
Vacuum stability bound: Fermionic contributions could lead to
negative self coupling for too small Vacuum not a minimum anymore C~103(16)GeV mH > 70 (130) GeV

Higgs @ LHC: production Gluon Gluon fusion:
Dominant production mode NLO correction important
K = 1.7 Main contribution is gluon radiation
many events with at least one jet
NNLO cross section known Sig(NNLO)/Sig(NLO) = 1.3
Vector Boson Fusion: small K factor ~ 1.1
Small jet multiplicity in final state No color exchange between quarks
large energetic jets at small pT
Low hadronic activity in central region from hard event
a part from Higgs decay Production with Gauge boson:
Known NNLO for QCD and EW corrections
Production with heavy quarks: More complicated final state More than 10 diagrams, known at NLO
Typical uncertainties on cross-sections

(H) only directly accessible for m>200 GeV

• Concentrate on “low” MH
• Series of assumption needed:
• Assume spin 0:• allow to use angular distribution on HWW (most precise measure)• measure .BR in different channels:.BR = (NS+B - <NB>)/L
• Uncertainties: Selection efficiencies Background subtraction Luminosity
• Second step: assume only one Higgs boson
•BR(Hx)/BR(HWW) = x/W
•Reduced number of fitted parameters
smaller errors

• Third step, more assumptions:-No new particles in loop-Light mass H not accessible-Absolute scale not measurable, measure gx/gW
• Express all rates and BR as a function of 5 couplings:
gW,gZ,gtop,gb,g

BR(): (b1.gW2 – b2.gtop

A “Little” Higgs ?Seeks to solve the radiative instability of the SM Higgs sector
In the “Little Higgs” model, the massless Higgs is generated (in analogy of the pion in QCD) through SSB of a new symmetry
It’s mass is acquired during EWSB. The new symmetry being still approximately valid, the mass is protected and stays small
Breaking SU(5) requires at least one heavy, O(TeV), new particle for each particle contributing to the radiative corrections of the Higgs, which cancel the SM corrections
By construction: the W±H, ZH cancel the weak divergence, a new quark T cancels the
top-quark divergence, the new Higgs triplet cancels the SM Higgs divergence
The new heavy top and gauge bosons decay into their SM partners through associated Higgs production. These and the new Higgs fields could be discovered at ATLAS, studies performed!
As new symmetry one could use SU(5), embedding the unified gauge group (SU(2)U(1))2
Breaking SU(5) by a VEV into SO(5) creates 14 “Goldstone” bosons
Then, the group (SU(2)U(1))2 is broken into SU(2)LU(1)Y, where 4 of the 14 Goldstone bosons are used to create massive longitudinal SM gauge fields (W±
H, ZH, AH) of the broken gauge group
Among the remaining Goldstone bosons one finds a complex scalar doublet (SM Higgs), and a scalar triplet with 5 Higgs bosons: 0 , ± , ±±

• If the Standard model Higgs boson exists, it cannot
escape detection at the LHC.
• Discovering the Higgs boson is just the first step, the
next step is to measure its mass and couplings.
• Discovery of enhanced Higgs sector directly prompts to
physics beyond the SM.
