Four-fermion decay of Higgs bosons

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-25 v2

Abstract

We calculate four-fermion decays of a Higgs boson via WWWW and/or ZZZZ intermediate states for Higgs masses below mWm_W. We examine models with a doubly-charged Higgs boson H++H^{++} and show that the four-fermion decay is the dominant mode for a wide range of parameter space. Existing searches for H++H^{++} in ZZ decays have not looked for this mode. We also derive four-fermion decay rate for a neutral Higgs boson.
