11 iv.d Combining Coupling measurements More detailed study on the iggs coupling can be done via leading order tree-level motivated framework. Assumptions: i. Single resonance at m =5.5 GeV ii. Narrow width approximation holds, i.e. rates of the process i!! f are given by B= i f with the iggs width, and f the partial width of the! f transition, and i the cross section for i! production. iii. No modifications in the tensor structure of the SM Lagrangian, i.e. iggs is + Free parameters in the framework: coupling scale factors apple j SM cross section times partial decay width, apple the total iggs width, or double ratios of the coupling scale factors ij = apple i /apple j. E.g. the e ective couplings of gg!! ( B) meas = apple g apple ( B) SM apple can be written as ratio of measured over / 8
