LHC can be Higgs & SUSY factory!!!

Why is the LHC?

- Discovery of SM Higgs~ the last unobserved particle

- Discovery of New Physics

Measurement ofSM Higgs properties etc.

High energy High luminosity

SM Higgs Decay

Branching ratios

Can study Higgs properties in detail.

Couplings…

Difficult but interesting!


Vector Boson Fusion Process

Characteristics High Pt jets in forward region Rapidity gap <- no color flow : no jet activitiesQCD background can be reduced by these features.

VBF H-> at low-mass region (mH = ~120GeV) Large production cross section and branching ratio Can reconstruct M(=mH) -> Can see a peak-> Discovery channel!!

Rapidity gap


Branching ratio of H-> :• BR(lep-lep) = ~12%• BR(lep-had) = ~46%“Lep-had” mode plays an important role for the Higgs discovery.

Key Issues : Strategy for Discovery

For “VBF H->->lep,had” channel : More signals

Tau jet identification High efficiencies of tau jets with high rejection power of QCD jets

Less backgrounds Missing Et

Better resolution Make a tail of Z smaller Make a signal peak shaper

ATLAS


Tau-jet identificationTau-jet = jet originated from hadronic tau decay We need to identify tau-jets from many QCD-jets.

TauID Performance

No new result.-> studying …

ATLAS TDR 1999

We achieved eff=50% withRejection factor > ~100 forPt > ~40GeV.

We misidentify one QCD jetas a tau jet in ~100 QCD jets.

Summary of SM Higgs StudiesATLAS


Discovery potential of SM Higgs

Can discover Higgs withL=30fb-1 by >8(MH>114GeV:LEP limit)

MH < 200GeV:- Light case: VBF - Heavy case: VBF WW- Can observe Higgs

by multi-modes.

MH >200GeV:- H->ZZ->4lepton by >20

MSSM : Lighter Neutral Higgs

CMS

The lighter neutralhiggs h ~ SM Higgs

h mass increases withmA, tan, top mass,stop mass, stop mixing.

bbh coupling is enhanced stronglyat large tan.

h->, and bb+


VBF process becomes important for the Higgs discovery in the low-mass region, mH=110~130GeV. Higher efficiency of tauID with a high purity is necessary to

discover Higgs as early as possible. We need to confirm our tauID using 10fb-1 of real data, Z->

. Study of missing Et is also important.

Conclusions SM Higgs can be discovered within 1 year ~ L=10fb-1

at both ATLAS and CMS.

LHC will start at 2007!-> SM Higgs!! and New Physics@TeV!!
