Higgs Physics, after July 2012 C.-P. Yuan Michigan State University, USA July 10, 2013 @ IHEP
July 4, 2012 Scientists at CERN say they've found a new particle consistent with the Standard Model Higgs boson with 5-sigma certainty a false positive probability of about 1 in 9 trillion. This is hardly the end of the road for Higgs study, though. It s only the beginning. So a Higgs-like boson has been discovered. What s next?
What do we know about this New Boson Its mass is between 124 GeV and126 GeV Its production rates in various decay channels have been found to be in good agreement with the Standard Model (SM) predictions. The Higgs boson couplings to any SM particles are found to generally agree with SM predictions within 20%.

Further tests in the TeV region are absolutely needed Must study the longitudinally polarized vector boson scatterings in the TeV region to check the unitarity property. If the scattering amplitudes are shown to be unitary, then the discovered Higgs boson is responsible for the electroweak symmetry breaking. Otherwise, New Physics must exist to unitarize the longitudinal vector boson scatterings in the TeV region.

Precision Tests are needed New Physics effects (from heavy particles) could contribute in loops. Hence, precision tests of Higgs production cross sections and decay branching ratios are needed.

Discriminate Higgs Production Mechanisms Using Jet Energy Profiles Important to measure the couplings of Higgs boson to other SM particles. Need to separate vector boson fusion (VBF) from gluon fusion (GF) production mechanisms for the Higgs boson. Various kinematical distributions look alike after imposing relevant kinematic cuts.

Final state quark jets can be statistically separated from gluon jets by studying their corresponding jet energy profiles. Hep-ph/1107.4535; 1206.1344 H.-N. Li, Z. Li, CPY
Separating Quark from Gluon Jets
For 125 GeV SM Higgs Boson Simulate H+1,2,3 jets events with MadGraph v5 Pass them to Pythia v6.4 for showering and hadronization, and use MLM prescription for matching. Jets are reconstructed using SpartyJet, a wrapper for FastJet, using the anti-k t jet algorithm with R = 0.7
Compare Jet Energy Profiles from Pythia and pqcd The central jet is chosen, for its jet energy profile (JEP) could be better measured than a forward jet.
Our Analyses Pythia predictions depend on the specific tune considered (Pythia tune-a). pqcd resummation predictions, without including power suppressed contribution, do not depend on any non-perturbative physics. Hence, we use pqcd prediction to determine the central value of the JEP, and use Pythia results to estimate the error on the JEP.
Compare various model predictions in JEP Compare SM prediction with two hypothetical cases of a Higgs produced via pure VBF or GF. @14TeV LHC The statistical errors are derived from Madgraph+Pythia simulation.

Summary on JEP We use (quark vs. gluon) Jet Energy Profile to discriminate the production mechanism of Higgs boson, VBF vs. GF. Similar techniques can be applied to probe New Physics.
