The production cross-section of the beyond the standard model (BSM) scalar boson (S boson) have been considered it the article. Scalar boson produced via photon fusion reaction in the deep inelastic scattering of a charged particle (proton or electron) on heavy nucleus of the target. This process is one of the possible mechanisms of BSM boson production at the SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) experiment at the CERN LHC and may be dominating among others processes due to large nuclear charge. Previously [1], the amplitude and the production cross-section of this reaction were found. The found cross-section was analyzed for the case of proton scattering on the lead nucleus and compared with the production cross-section in the decay of Ds meson. In this paper we make estimate of the process more accurate and consider also electron-nucleus scattering. It was found that the photon fusion reaction pZ \to S may be effective only in the case of massless S boson.

The production cross-section of the beyond the standard model (BSM) scalar boson (S-boson) have been considered it the article. Scalar boson produced via photon fusion reaction in the deep inelastic scattering of a charged particle (proton or electron) on heavy nucleus of the target. This process is one of the possible mecha- nisms of BSM boson production at the SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) experiment at the CERN LHC and may be dominating among others processes due to large nuclear charge. In a low-energy case for which virtual photon wavelength similar or bigger nuclear size one can consider nucleus as an elementary particle with the charge Z. Corresponding amplitude is proportional to Z and the cross-section proportional to Z^2. Due to this the alpha_{EM}^2 suppression of the production cross-section is approximately compensated by the charge number factor Z^2. The mass of boson cannot exceed 4 MeV for the incident proton (or less than 80 MeV for electron). We calculated amplitude and the production cross-section of this reaction directly without using equivalent photon approximation. Interaction between photon and neutral boson is described by triangular diagrams with the loop containing all charged leptons, quarks and W-bosons. For this interaction we used effective lagrangian. The found cross-section was analyzed for the case of proton scattering on the lead nucleous and compared with the production cross-section in the decay of Ds mesons. It was found that the photon fusion reaction becomes effective only with a S-boson mass less than 0.1 keV.

As part of the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model, we chose the determination of the Higgs boson decay width as one of the least experimentally determined values. The decay widths into the four fermions of the lightest and heaviest CP-even Higgs bosons of the THDM model were calculated, taking into account QCD and electroweak corrections in the NLO approximation. To achieve this goal, the program Monte Carlo Prophecy 4f with special scenarios of parameters, 7B1 and 5B1 were used. It was found that the decay width of the heavier CPeven Higgs boson H differs from HSM by 1227.93 times and changes to a negative value when deviating from the standard scenarios. Scale factors kZ2 and kW2 showed the predominance of the associated with Z boson production cross section of CP-even Higgs boson over the associated with W production cross section.

The dilepton decays of the top quark are a powerful laboratory for probing the Standard Model and searching for hints of a more fundamental theory. We present a detailed analysis of the production cross section and the kinematic qualities of top quark pair candidate events in [Formula: see text] collisions at [Formula: see text] = 1.96 TeV collected by the CDF detector which include two leptons in the final state, suggesting the decay [Formula: see text]. We describe the selection of candidate events to suppress major backgrounds and present the number of observed events over background. As a test of the top quark hypothesis, the kinematics of the events are analyzed via a measurement of M top with unprecedented precision.
