A combined fit to the Higgs Branching Ratios at ILD
Abstract
Higgs decay branching ratios at future Higgs factories can be measured by directly exploiting class numeration. Given the clean environment at a lepton collider, it is possible to build an event sample highly enriched in Higgs bosons and essentially unbiased for any decay mode. The sample can be partitioned into categories using event properties linked to the expected Higgs decay modes. The counts per category are used to fit the Higgs branching ratios in a model independent way. The result of the fit is the set of branching ratios, independent from a Higgs production mode measurement. We present a simplified study on simulated data for the International Linear Detector (ILD) at the International Linear Collider (ILC) at 250 GeV center-of-mass energy.
