| The search for additional heavy Higgs bosons is often carried out in the narrow width approximation, i.e. interferences of the Higgs bosons with the SM background as well as the light Higgs boson or other heavy Higgs bosons are neglected. | The search for additional heavy Higgs bosons is often carried out in the narrow width approximation, i.e. interferences of the Higgs bosons with the SM background as well as the light Higgs boson or other heavy Higgs bosons are neglected. | ||
| The first analysis taking into account such interferences was carried out by ATLAS in the $t\bar t$ final state [ATLAS-CONF-2016-073]. Such interference terms are usually strongly final state and model dependent. | The first analysis taking into account such interferences was carried out by ATLAS in the $t\bar t$ final state [ATLAS-CONF-2016-073].

| + | 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 $\Gamma_\Phi/m_\Phi\cdot \sigma^S/\sigma^B$). | ||
