Complete Electroweak Corrections to Higgs production in a Standard Model with four generations at the LHC
Abstract
Complete electroweak two-loop corrections to the process are presented and discussed in a Standard Model with a fourth generation of heavy fermions. The latter is studied at the LHC to put exclusion limits on a fourth generation of heavy fermions. Therefore also a precise knowledge of the electroweak(EW) next-to-leading-order(NLO) corrections is important. The corrections due to the fourth generation are positive and large for a light Higgs boson, positive but relatively small around the threshold and start to become negative for a Higgs boson mass around . Increasing further the value of the Higgs boson mass, the EW NLO effects tend to become huge and negative, , around the heavy-fermion threshold, assumed at , so that -fusion becomes non-perturbative. Above that threshold they start to grow again and become positive around . The behaviour at even larger values of shows a positive enhancement, at .
