Heavy-quark effect on the Higgs-boson production in e+e collisions

Влияние тяженых кварков на рождение боэона Хиггса в e+e соударениях

Summary

We have studied the Higgs-boson production in e+e collisions in the √s=(0.1÷4) TeV region. In particular, the bremsstrahlung process associated with heavy quarks has been investigated in detail, comparing with the typical process\(e^ + e^ - \to \nu _e \bar \nu _e \) H0 at very high energy. It is found that the bremsstrahlung process is negligibly small if the top-quark mass is about 40 GeV and the further heavy quarks do not exist, but not negligible if the superheavy quarks exist in the TeV energy region.

Riassunto

Si è studiata la produzione di bosoni di Higgs nelle collisioni e+e nella regione √s=(0.1÷4) TeV. In particolare, il processo di bremsstrahlung associato con quark pesanti è stato studiato in dettaglio confrontandolo con il processo tipico\(e^ + e^ - \to \nu _e \bar \nu _e \) H0 ad energia molto alta. Si trova che il processo di bremsstrahlung è trascurabilmente piccolo se la massa del quark top è di circa 40 GeV e gli ulteriori quark pesanti non esistono, ma non trascurabile se esistono quark superpesanti nella regione di energia dell’ordine dei TeV.

Реэюме

Мы исследуем обраэование боэона Хиггса в e+e соударениях в области √s=(0.1÷4) ТзВ. В частности, подробно исследуется тормоэное иэлучение, обуслов-ленное тяжелыми кварками. Тормоэное иэлучение сравнивается с типичным про-цессом\(e^ + e^ - \to \nu _e \bar \nu _e \) H0 при очень высоких знергиях. Получено, что процесс тормоэного иэлучения является пренебрежимо малым, если масса верхнего кварка составляет 40 ГзВ, а другие тяжелые кварки не сушествуют. Однако процесс тормоэного иэлу-чения не является пренебрежимо малым, если сушествуют супертяжелые кварки в ТзВ-ной области знергии.

  16. For the process (2.3), the results of Dicus and Willenbrock (6)D. A. Dicus andS. S. D. Willenbrock: do not agree with the ones of Jones and Petcov (5), quantitatively. Therefore, we analyse again the process (2.4), at √s=140, 170, 180 GeV, since the process (2.4) for these energies is studied by both authors. Our numerical results are concordant with ones byDicus andWillenbrok rather thanJones andPetcov, thus we support the former conclusion.
