Abstract

Higgs boson production in association with a single top quark is the only process sensitive to the sign of the Top Yukawa coupling. We present a Monte-Carlo study of the pp → tHqb process and discuss the esperimental signatures that can help to discover it at the LHC. Two scenarios have been considered, the Standard Model case and the Inverted Top Coupling scenario.

Highlights

  • The discovery of the Higgs boson by ATLAS and CMS experiments in 2012 [1, 2] was the great success of the modern high-energy physics

  • The main goal of the LHC experiments is a search for New Physics (NP) phenomena beyond the SM

  • Precision measurements of the Higgs boson properties represent a promising field for the beyond the Standard Model (BSM) searches

Summary

Introduction

The discovery of the Higgs boson by ATLAS and CMS experiments in 2012 [1, 2] was the great success of the modern high-energy physics. After the Higgs boson discovery the Standard Model of electroweak interaction (SM) is complete. The effects beyond the Standard Model (BSM) can manifest themselves in two ways, either via a discovery of new particles or as small deviations of experimental observables from the SM predictions. Precision measurements of the Higgs boson properties represent a promising field for the BSM searches. All the measured properties of the Higgs boson are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions. The experimental observables studied at the LHC are the Higgs boson mass, spin and parity, decay branchings, kinematics of production, cross-sections of exclusive production modes. In this report we discuss the prospects of the signal discovery at the LHC
