Though being weakly interacting, QED can support bound states. In principle, this can be expected for the weak interactions in the Higgs sector as well. In fact, it has been argued long ago that there should be a duality between bound states and the elementary particles in this sector, at least in leading order in an expansion in the Higgs quantum fluctuations around its expectation value. Whether this remains true beyond the leading order is being investigated using lattice simulations, and support is found. This provides a natural interpretation of peaks in cross-sections as bound states. This would imply that (possibly very broad) resonances of Higgs and W and Z bound states could exist within the Standard Model.

Quite recently it was shown that torsion induces interactions among leptons that are identical to the weak interactions of leptons of the Weinberg Standard Model, if it is in terms of leptonic bound states that the bosonic sector is built; here we obtain the partially conserved axial currents showing that they are the same of the Standard Model, if the composite mediators have specific mass relationships: we show that their masses are indeed the measured ones, if reasonable approximations are taken.

Besides the traditional strong and electromagnetic decay modes,Υ(nS)meson can also decay through the weak interactions within the standard model of elementary particle. With anticipation of copiousΥ(nS)data samples at the running LHC and coming SuperKEKB experiments, the two-body nonleptonic bottom-changingΥ(nS)→Bc⁎π,Bc⁎Kdecays (n=1,2,3) are investigated with perturbative QCD approach firstly. The absolute branching ratios forΥ(nS)→Bc⁎πandBc⁎Kdecays are estimated to reach up to about10-10and10-11, respectively, which might possibly be measured by the future experiments.

Differential and total cross sections of single gauge boson production in high energy electron-photon collisions obtained within the Standard Model in leading order and next-to-leading order are presented. Soft photon bremsstrahlung as well as hard photon bremsstrahlung parts were considered using the dimensional regularization procedure. Special features of receiving the hard bremsstrahlung convergent contribution are discussed. The corresponding anomalous gauge boson couplings were studied in the effective Lagrangian approach. Best conditions for registration of effects beyond the Standard Model are determined.

The differential and total cross sections of the single gauge boson production in quasielastic high energy electron-photon scattering are obtained within the Standard Model in leading order and next-to-leading order of the perturbative theory. The contribution of divergent part of hard photon bremsstrahlung was included. The anomalous gauge boson coupling in the effective Lagrangian approach were studied. It is shown the analysis of neutral gauge couplings can be fully performed for two constants with different types of symmetries. Numerical analysis has been done. The best conditions were determined for registration of generated effects beyond the Standard Model.

Abstract The Higgs doublet can mediate a long-range interaction between multi-TeV particles coupled to the Weak interactions of the Standard Model, while its emission can lead to very rapid bound-state formation processes and bound-to-bound transitions. Using the rates calculated in a companion paper, here we compute the thermal decoupling of multi-TeV WIMP dark matter coupled to the Higgs, and show that the formation of metastable dark matter bound states via Higgs-doublet emission and their decay decrease the relic density very significantly. This in turn implies that WIMP dark matter may be much heavier than previously anticipated, or conversely that for a given mass, the dark matter couplings to the Higgs may be much lower than previously predicted, thereby altering the dark matter phenomenology. While we focus on a minimal singlet-doublet model in the coannihilation regime, our calculations can be extended to larger multiplets where the effects under consideration are expected to be even more significant.

We report calculations of the gluon-induced Zg and Zgg productions in the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) operating at both 7 TeV and 14 TeV collision energies. We present total cross-sections and differential distributions of the processes and compare them with the leading and next-to-leading order QCD pp → Z+1 jet, Z+2 jets results. Our results show that the gluon-induced Zg and Zgg productions contribute to pp → Z+1 jet, Z+2 jets at 1% level.

We explore some aspects of the phenomenology of the Higgs sector in a model that includes right-handed neutrinos, with a mass of the order of the electroweak scale. In this model all scales arise from spontaneous symmetry breaking, thus the Higgs sector includes an extra Higgs singlet, in addition to the Standard Model Higgs doublet. The scalar spectrum includes two neutral CP-even states (h and H, with mh < mH) and a neutral CP-odd state (σ) that can be identified as a pseudo-Majoron. The parameter of the Higgs potential are constrained using a perturbativity criteria, which amounts to solve the corresponding RGE. The relevant Higgs branching ratios and some cross-sections are discussed, with special emphasis on the detection of the invisible Higgs signal at the LHC.

Abstract The next generation electron-positron colliders are designed for precision studies of the Standard Model and its extensions, in particular in the Higgs sector. We consider the potential for discovery of composite Higgs models in Higgs pair production through photon collisions. This process is loop-generated, thus it provides access to all Higgs couplings and can show new physics effects in polarized and unpolarized cross-sections starting at relatively low collider energies. It is, therefore, relevant for all electron-positron colliders planned or in preparation. Sizeable deviations from the Standard Model predictions are present in a general class of composite Higgs models, as couplings of one or more Higgs bosons to fermions, or fermionic and scalar resonances, modify the destructive interference present in the Standard Model. In particular, large effects are due to the new quartic coupling of the Higgs to tops and to the presence of a light scalar resonance.

Abstract We investigate the role of the Higgs doublet in the thermal decoupling of multi-TeV dark matter coupled to the Weak interactions of the Standard Model and the Higgs. The Higgs doublet can mediate a long-range force that affects the annihilation processes and binds dark matter into bound states. More importantly, the emission of a Higgs doublet by a pair of dark matter particles can give rise to extremely rapid monopole bound-state formation processes and bound-to-bound transitions. We compute these effects in the unbroken electroweak phase. To this end, we consider the simplest renormalisable fermionic model, consisting of a singlet and a doublet under SUL(2) that are stabilised by a ℤ2 symmetry, in the regime where the two multiplets coannihilate. In a companion paper, we use the results to show that the formation of metastable bound states via Higgs-doublet emission and their decay decrease the relic density very significantly.
