Abstract
This study investigates the precision measurement of the CKM matrix element |Vcb| through semileptonic WW events at future Higgs factories, i.e., FCC-ee, ILC, C3, and CEPC. We use full detector simulation to generate the WW → ℓνcb signal events and various backgrounds at s = 240 GeV with unpolarized beams. The relative statistical uncertainties of |Vcb| are projected to be 0.91% for the muon channel and 1.2% for the electron channel, assuming a baseline integrated luminosity of 5 ab−1. The sensitivities at other Higgs factory scenarios are also projected. Possible contributors to systematic uncertainties are discussed, with the most prominent one being the systematics of flavor-tagging and mistagging rates. Combining with WW threshold runs, the relative systematic uncertainty can be further reduced.
