Table 5 Expected precision (at 68% probability level) for the measurement of δc2V at the LHC and the FCC, assuming SM values of the Higgs couplings. We show results both for the nominal background cross section σbkg, and for the case in which this value is rescaled by a factor 3.
value of the coefficients in bin i are given in Appendix D. We denote by π(c2V ) the prior probability distribution of the c2V coupling. As justified above, in the evaluation of Eq. (18) we set δB(S) = 0.15 (0.1) and assume that the two nuisance parameters are normally distributed. We have verified that assuming instead a log normal distribution leads to i i similar results. In addition, we take a Poissonian likelihood L(N Nobs) in each bin and assume the prior probability | 1 π(c2V ) to be uniform. The resulting posterior probabilities are shown in Fig. 12 for the LHC with L = 300 fb− 1 1 (LHC14) and L = 3 ab− (HL-LHC), and for the FCC with L = 10 ab− . To produce this figure, as well as to determine the values reported in Tabs. 5 and 6, we included all bins with at least one event.
From Fig. 12, we can determine the expected precision for a measurement of δc2V at the LHC and the FCC in the case of SM values of the Higgs couplings. The 68% probability intervals for the determination of c2V at the LHC and the FCC are listed in Table 5. This is the central result of this work. To assess its robustness with respect to our estimate of the background cross sections, we also provide the same intervals in the case of an overall rescaling
of the total background by a factor 3. Furthermore, we can also assess the effect of varying cV on the bound on δc2V by treating cV as a nuisance parameter and marginalizing over it. The leading effect of varying cV comes from the 2 (c2V cV ) term at the amplitude level – see Eq. 4 – and can be included using the parametrization of Eq. 8. The − 2 neglected dependence is sub-leading and arises from the interference of diagrams proportional to cV and cV c3.We take cV to be Gaussian distributed with a mean equal to 1 (i.e., its SM value) and a width equal to the 4.3%, 3.3%, and 2% at the LHC Run II, HL-LHC, and FCC respectively. In case of the LHC (both Run II and HL), the width of the Gaussian corresponds to the projected sensitivity from the two parameter fit by ATLAS [111]. The effect
of marginalizing over cV is sub-leading in both LHC scenarios and weakens the bound on δc2V with respect to the bounds quoted in Table 5. We find that the results of Table 5 change by 2% for LHC14 and 7% for HL-LHC. The
effect at the FCC is much larger causing the bound on δc2V to be O(0.04) rather than 0.01. This is not surprising and indicates that a joint likelihood would be required at the FCC. From Table 5, we find that the c2V coupling, for which there are currently no direct experimental constraints, 1 +45% can already be measured at the LHC with 300fb− with a reasonably good accuracy: 37% with 68% probability. This accuracy is only marginally degraded if the background is increased by a factor 3.− A better precision, of the +19% 1 order of 15%, is expected at the HL-LHC with 3ab− . Also, this estimate is robust against an overall rescaling of − 1 the background cross section. Finally, we find a very significant improvement at the FCC with 10ab− , where a measurement at the 1% level could be achieved providing an unprecedented test for our understanding of the Higgs sector. It is interesting to compare these results with the experimental precision expected on the fiducial VBF di-Higgs production cross section after all analysis cuts, expressed in terms of the signal strength parameter normalized to
the SM result, µ = σ/σSM. Table 6 shows the 95% upper limits on µ for the nominal background cross section 3) Analisi ed interpretazione delle anomalie nella fisica del B
