Measuring the Higgs-Vector boson Couplings at Linear $e^{+} e^{-}$ Collider
Abstract
We estimate the accuracy with which the coefficient of the CP even dimension six operators involving Higgs and two vector bosons (HVV) can be measured at linear colliders. Using the optimal observables method for the kinematic distributions, our analysis is based on the five different processes. First is the WW fusion process in the t-channel (), where we use the rapidity y and the transverse momentum of the Higgs boson as observables. Second is the ZH pair production process in the s-channel, where we use the scattering angle of the Z and the Z decay angular distributions, reproducing the results of the previous studies. Third is the t-channel ZZ, fusion processes (), where we use the energy and angular distributions of the tagged and . In the fourth, we consider the rapidity distribution of the untagged events, which can be approximated well as the fusion of the bremsstrahlung photons from and beams. As the last process,we consider the single tagged events, which probe the process. All the results are presented in such a way that statistical errors of the constraints on the effective couplings and their correlations are read off when all of them are allowed to vary simultaneously, for each of the above processes, for GeV, at , and , with and without beam polarization of 80%.
