| 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]]). | ||

| 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 $f_a >100\rm GeV$.

| + | **'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. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Contributions on the above projects to the Friday closing talk (by the Higgs convenors) should include (~1-2 slides): | ||
| + | |||
| + | *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) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Please send to Gregory, Susan and Jose by Thursday morning (so we can give a synthesis to the speaker by ~Thursday noon and also circulate among us) | ||
