Cornering a Hyper Higgs: Angular Kinematics for Boosted Higgs Bosons with Top Pairs
Abstract
In the wake of the Higgs discovery and over the long haul of the LHC run, one should keep a lookout for kinematic anomalies in the most massive known trio of coupled particles, . After surveying the scope of prior constraints on chromomagnetic dipole and Higgs-gluon kinetic couplings, we focus on surpluses of boosted- Higgs bosons fomented by these momentum dependent dimension-six operators in final states. We uncover a number of simple, weighted angular variables useful for discriminating Standard Model from dimension-6 boosted Higgs distributions, and make headway arguing that one of these variables may improve the reach of existing Standard Model top-Higgs searches. The approach we take is model independent, because we just consider a set of effective operators that contribute to the same three-body final state.
