AbstractWe calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) quantum chromodynamics (QCD) corrections to the exclusive processes $$\gamma +\gamma \rightarrow {\mathcal {Q}}+{\mathcal {Q}}$$ γ + γ → Q + Q , with $${\mathcal {Q}}=J/\psi ,\ \eta _c,\ \Upsilon $$ Q = J / ψ , η c , Υ , or $$\eta _b$$ η b , in the framework of non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization formalism. The cross sections at the SuperKEKB electron–positron collider, as well as at the future colliders, like the circular electron positron collider (CEPC) and the international linear collider (ILC), are evaluated. Numerical result indicates that the processes for $$J/\psi $$ J / ψ -pair production and $$\eta _c$$ η c -pair production are hopefully observable at the Belle II detector within the next decade.

Abstract In recent years there have been many proposals for new electron-positron colliders, such as the Circular Electron-Positron Collider, the International Linear Collider, and the Future Circular Collider in electron-positron mode. Much of the motivation for these colliders is precision measurements of the Higgs boson and searches for new electroweak states. Hence, many of these studies are focused on energies above the h Z threshold. However, there are proposals to run these colliders at the lower WW threshold and Z-pole energies. In this paper, we study a new search for Higgs physics accessible at lower energies: e+e− → h Zd, where Zdis a new light gauge boson such as a dark photon or dark-Z. Such searches can be conducted at the WW threshold, i.e. energies below the h Z threshold where exotic Higgs decays can be searched for in earnest. Additionally, due to very good angular and energy resolution at future electron-positron colliders, these searches will be sensitive to Zd masses below 1 GeV, which is lower than the current direct LHC searches. We will show that at √s = 160 GeV with 10 ab−1, a search for e+e− → h Zd is sensitive to h −Z −Zd couplings of δ ∼ 9 × 10−3and cross sections of ∼ 2 − 3 ab for Zd masses below 1 GeV. The results are similar at √s = 240 GeV with 5 ab−1.

The Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) as a Higgs factory was proposed in September 2013. The preliminary conceptual design report was completed in 2015.1 The CEPC detector design was using International Linear Collider Detector — ILD2 as an initial baseline. The CEPC calorimeters, including the high granularity electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) and the hadron calorimeter (HCAL), are designed for precise energy measurements of electrons, photons, taus and hadronic jets. The basic resolution requirements for the ECAL and HCAL are about 16%[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] (GeV) and 50%[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] (GeV), respectively. To fully exploit the physics potential of the Higgs, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and related Standard Model processes, the jet energy resolution is required to reach 3%–4%, or 30%/[Formula: see text] (GeV) at energies below about 100 GeV. To achieve the required performance, a Particle Flow Algorithm (PFA) — oriented calorimetry system is being considered as the baseline design. The CEPC ECAL detector options include silicon–tungsten or scintillator–tungsten structures with analog readout, while the HCAL detector options have scintillator or gaseous detector as the active sensor and iron as the absorber. Some latest R&D studies about ECAL and HCAL within the CEPC working group is also presented.

The Georgi–Machacek (GM) model predicts the existence of the doubly-charged scalars [Formula: see text], which can be seen the typical particles in this model and their diboson decay channels are one of the most promising ways to discover such new doubly-charged scalars. Based on the constraints of the latest combined ATLAS and CMS Higgs boson diphoton signal strength data at [Formula: see text] confidence level, we focus on the study of the triple scalar production in [Formula: see text] collisions at the future International Linear collider (ILC): [Formula: see text], where the production cross-sections are very sensitive to the triple scalar coupling parameter [Formula: see text]. Considering the typical same-sign diboson decay modes for the doubly-charged scalars, the possible final signals might be detected via this process at the future ILC experiments.

AbstractThe Circular Electron Positron Collider and the International Linear Collider are two electron-positron Higgs factories. They are designed to operate at a center-of-mass energy of 240 and 250 GeV and accumulate 5.6 and 2 $$ab^{-1}$$ab-1 of integrated luminosity. This paper estimates their performance on the $$H \rightarrow \tau ^{+}\tau ^{-}$$H→τ+τ- benchmark measurement. Using the full simulation analysis, the CEPC is expected to measure the signal strength to a relative accuracy of 0.8%. Extrapolating to the ILC setup, we conclude the ILC can reach a relative accuracy of 1.1% or 1.2%, corresponding to two benchmark beam polarization setups. The physics requirement on the mass resolution of the Higgs boson with hadronic decay final states is also discussed, showing that the CEPC baseline design and reconstruction fulfill the accuracy requirement of the $$H\rightarrow \tau ^{+}\tau ^{-}$$H→τ+τ- signal strength.

In the framework of the Left–Right Twin Higgs model, we studied the bottom-quark pair production via e+e- collision at the International Linear Collider. We calculated the bottom-quark pair production cross-section at tree level and the relevant differential distributions. The relative correction of the production cross-section is significant and the result will be a sensitive probe of the Left–Right Twin Higgs model.

We calculate the cross-section of the near-threshold off-shell ZZZ and ZW+W-production at the International Linear Collider taking into account their instability and the principal part of next-to-leading order corrections. The calculations are performed in the framework of the model of unstable particles with smeared mass-shell. We show that the contribution of the finite Z/W and H widths (their instability) is large in the Higgs resonance range (about -24% and -18% for ZZZ and ZW+W-, respectively, at [Formula: see text]) and should be taken into account in the Higgs boson studies at the future International Linear Collider.

In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), the bottom Yukawa coupling of the Higgs boson can considerably deviate from its Standard Model prediction due to nondecoupling effects. We point out that the ratio of the Higgs boson decay branching fraction to a bottom quark pair and that to a W-boson pair from the same production channel is particularly sensitive to large additional MSSM Higgs boson mass regions at future electron–positron colliders. Based on this precision measurement, we explicitly show the indirect discovery reach of the additional Higgs bosons according to planned programs of the International Linear Collider.
