Below 80-90GeV, for a generic (pseudo-)scalar $\phi$ (light Higgs, radion, dilaton, axion, ALP's...), the decay $\phi$ → Z*Z is kinematically closed and $\phi$ → $\gamma\gamma$ becomes challenging to trigger on, so that the gluon-gluon Fusion mechanism to produce $\phi$ is not promising anymore (see for instance [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.08653|1607.08653]]). | Below 80-90GeV, for a generic (pseudo-)scalar $\phi$ (light Higgs, radion, dilaton, axion, ALP's...), the decay $\phi$ → Z*Z is kinematically closed and $\phi$ → $\gamma\gamma$ becomes challenging to trigger on, so that the gluon-gluon Fusion mechanism to produce $\phi$ is not promising anymore (see for instance [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.08653|1607.08653]]). | ||

+ | * Quick contur study using the BNT ALP UFO file. All couplings set to zero except the photons which is scanned over. {{ :2019:groups:higgs:combinedhybrid.pdf | 2D scan }}. Over a wide range of $\phi$ masses ($M_{ALP}$ on the plot) the sensitivity extends down to $C_{\gamma\gamma}/\Lambda \approx 3$ TeV$^{-1}$. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | * Checking at an example point in the above scan, $M_{ALP} = 1.8$ GeV, $C_{\gamma\gamma}/\Lambda = 5.2$ TeV$^{-1}$, all other couplings set to zero. The $\phi$ decays 100% to $\gamma\gamma$ as expected (width $10^{-7}$ GeV). The main production mechanisms are $\gamma, W$ or $Z$ + $\phi$. $gg \rightarrow \phi$ is zero. The different subprocess cross sections are visible in the example Herwig output file: {{ :2019:groups:higgs:lhc-s101-runpoint_0095.out.txt | lhc-s101-runpoint_0095.out}} | ||

General comment: If the particle is lighter than hadronic threshold ($m_a <3m_\pi<450\rm MeV$ for CP-odd scalar), the particle is easily long-lived in the reasonable parameter space. Many literature ignores loop-factor $16\pi^2$, which sometimes leads to less physical parameter space. A scale $\Lambda/C_{\gamma\gamma}=1\rm TeV$ in [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.00443|1708.00443]] parameterization corresponds to a scale $f_a =6\rm GeV$ in the decay constant (SSB scale).So ALP being invisible is quite possible with sub-GeV mass and $f_a >100\rm GeV$. Estimates with ALP as missing energy in [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1409.4792|1409.4792]] (mono-jet), [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.05379|1701.05379]] (mono-W, mono-Z, mono-Higgs) and [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.03061|1901.03061]]. | General comment: If the particle is lighter than hadronic threshold ($m_a <3m_\pi<450\rm MeV$ for CP-odd scalar), the particle is easily long-lived in the reasonable parameter space.

A model apart from ALP for $h\to Z\phi$ is flipped 2HDM by[[https://arxiv.org/abs/0904.0705|0904.0705]]. However, the model with light A seems to be very constrained by Higgs mass and Higgs coupling measurements. Another straightforward model is 2HDM plus singlet but in this case the Higgs portal (SM+singlet) is simpler (refs). | A model apart from ALP for $h\to Z\phi$ is flipped 2HDM by[[https://arxiv.org/abs/0904.0705|0904.0705]].

+ | **'Executive Summary'** of possible project list for the proceedings and input needed for the Friday summary talk: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Processes + models: | ||
+ | * h-->Zphi--->llgamma gamma (or mu+mu-, or tau+tau- with recast from h->aa->2mu2tau, CMS-PAS-HIG-15-011) [**BB, SJ, SB**] | ||
+ | * Z*-->Zphi-->llgamma or gammaphi-->3gamma | ||
+ | * (Above 2 with 'Bauer et al.' model) | ||
+ | * h*-->Zphi-->llgamma gamma (derive UFO from h*-->ZZ* with add'l functionality?) [**SJ**] | ||
+ | * qqbar/e+e--->Z*/gamma*-->Zphi-->llgamma gamma (started LH 2017) | ||
+ | * qqbar-->Z*/gamma*-->phi + 2j (VBF version of above) | ||
+ | * (Above 2 with EFT model) | ||
+ | * qqbar-->gluon*-->gluon + phi-->gamma gamma jet? (associated prdn) | ||
+ | * ggf prod. with same final state (but probably different kinematics): gg-->phi-->gamma gamma + ISR gluon | ||
+ | * tprime--tphi, phi-->gamma gamma (singlet pseudo-scalar, composite Higgs) | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Theoretical: recasting as 2HDM and other benchmark models [**JQ**] | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Experimental: | ||
+ | * 'fat' photons [**SJ**] | ||
+ | *statistical tool to produce proto-limits after proto-selections [**SJ**]: Such a tool is now ready. This uses likelihood ratio as a test statistic i.e. L(s+b)/L(b). Uses Cls method to quote the upper limits which is commonly and widely used by CMS and ATLAS. This has been cross-checked against the CMS limit tool for cut and counting experiment. But the present code can be extended to do a shape based limit. | ||

+ | *Your names (add initials to above) | ||
+ | *Current status at end of LH (some description, plots/numbers + other info) | ||
+ | *What you hope to accomplish for the proceedings (~mid-November) | ||
