Higgs-gauge boson interactions in the economical 3-3-1 model

Abstract

Interactions among the standard model gauge bosons and scalar fields in the framework of the SU(3){sub C}xSU(3){sub L}xU(1){sub X} gauge model with minimal (economical) Higgs content are presented. From these couplings, all scalar fields including the neutral scalar h and the Goldstone bosons can be identified and their couplings with the usual gauge bosons such as the photon, the charged W{sup {+-}}, and the neutral Z, without any additional conditions, are recovered. In the effective approximation, the full content of the scalar sector can be recognized. The CP-odd part of the Goldstone associated with the neutral non-Hermitian bilepton gauge boson G{sub X{sup 0}} is decoupled, while its CP-even counterpart has the mixing in the same way in the gauge boson sector. Masses of the new neutral Higgs boson H{sub 1}{sup 0} and the neutral non-Hermitian bilepton X{sup 0} are dependent on a coefficient of Higgs self-coupling ({lambda}{sub 1}). Similarly, masses of the singly charged Higgs boson H{sub 2}{sup {+-}} and of the charged bilepton Y{sup {+-}} are proportional through a coefficient of Higgs self-interaction ({lambda}{sub 4}). The hadronic cross section for production of this Higgs boson at the CERN LHC in the effective vector boson approximation is calculated. Numerical evaluationmore » shows that the cross section can exceed 260 fb.« less
