It is shown that the ratio of branching ratios in Higgs boson decay $r = \Gamma(H \to \tau^+\tau^-)/\Gamma(H\to \mu^+\mu^-)$ in a simplified ($T^{'} \times Z_2$) model is $(r)_{T^{'} \times Z_2} \simeq 0.001$. This prediction is on a…

The Higgs boson branching ratio into vector bosons is sensitive to the decay widths of those vector bosons because they are produced with at least one boson significantly off-shell. Gamma(H to V V ) is approximately proportional to the…
