Abstract

Using the Higgs boson mass mh=125m_h=125 GeV, the radiative Higgs decays hγνlνˉlh\rightarrow\gamma \nu_l\bar\nu_l with νl=νe,νμ\nu_l = \nu_e,\,\nu_\mu and ντ\nu_\tau are analyzed in the standard model. Our calculation shows that the inclusive width of these processes, i.e., the sum of Γ(hγνlνˉl)\Gamma(h\to\gamma\nu_l\bar\nu_l) for νl=νe,νμ,ντ{\nu_l=\nu_e,\nu_\mu,\nu_\tau}, is 1.411.41 keV, which is about 15%15\% of Γ(hγγ)\Gamma(h\to\gamma\gamma). Therefore, the observation of these channels in the future precise experiments may provide us some useful information on the Higgs physics both in the standard model and in its possible extensions.
