The below table gives a hint where large interference among the heavy Higgs bosons $\phi_i$, the SM Higgs $H$ and the SM background $B$ are to be expected depending on the final state under consideration:\\ | The below table gives a hint where large interference among the heavy Higgs bosons $\phi_i$, the SM Higgs $H$ and the SM background $B$ are to be expected depending on the final state under consideration:\\ | ||

+ | Work plan: | ||
+ | - Calculate $d\sigma^X/dm_{VV}$ or $dm_{HH}$ for $gg\to VV/HH$ at LO QCD and at partonic level for $X=S,I_B$ and $I_H$ for the subsequent parameters and store them as a function of $m_{VV}/m_{HH}$ in a table that ranges from $m_\Phi-10\Gamma_\Phi$ to $m_\Phi+10\Gamma_\Phi$ with sufficient data points: | ||
+ | - $VV$: $c_ge^{i\theta_g}$, $m_\Phi$, $\Gamma_\Phi$, $\kappa_V$ (in a first step choose $\sqrt{1-\kappa_V^2}$ for the SM $HVV$ coupling). | ||
+ | - $HH$: $c_ge^{i\theta_g}$, $m_\Phi$, $\Gamma_\Phi$, $\lambda_{Hhh}, \lambda_{hhh}$ | ||
+ | - Read in the table (with Mathematica) and calculate relative correction factors named $(\eta^-,\eta^+,\eta)$, see slides, or apply a similar method (e.g. arXiv:1510.03450) to quantify the relevance of the interferences. | ||
+ | - Try to classify the relevant regions, where interferences are of relevance (check also $\Gamma_\Phi/m_\Phi\cdot \sigma^S/\sigma^B$). | ||
