Three-point Energy Correlators in Hadronic Higgs Decays
Abstract
We present the analytic calculation of the leading order three-point energy correlator (EEEC) in hadronic Higgs decays, including both gluon-initiated channel and quark-initiated channel . The phase space integration is evaluated directly using Mandelstam variables , and the appearing square roots can be rationalized by either conformal ratios or celestial coordinate variables. Throughout the calculation, we observe the same transcendental function space as in super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory and . Different infrared limits are also explored using the full analytic result, offering the fixed-order data for EEEC factorization and resummation. Given its non-trivial shape dependence, the EEEC presents an excellent opportunity to explore the dynamics of gluon jets originating from the decay channel at future lepton colliders.
