Higgs Branching Ratio

Hi Ahmed,

h > Z Z doesn’t make any sense since at least one of the Z has to be on shell.

So could you provide all the information that is require to reproduce your computation/error (i.e. which model use, syntax use for the generation, which cut and which benchmark point).

Cheers,

Olivier

Dear Dr Olivier
Thanks for your reply.
I use heft model but i adopt the parameter ( higgs total decay width, Mt , MH, etc ) as in cern twiki page https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LHCPhysics/HiggsEuropeanStrategy2012. with the default run card.
In fact i process h>4l through Z Z decay.
I found that the higgs production gg>h = 21pb and the total cross section of (h>4l) = 0.000412 +- 1.585e-06 pb .
If one follow the procedure of CMS (CMS PAS HIG-13-002) sigmma*BR, we found Br(h>4l =gg>h/h>4l) ~ 0.000019619, while in (https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LHCPhysics/CERNYellowReportPageBR2) BR(h>4l) = 1.25E-04 ??!!.
Also, kindly could you please explain what did you mean by //h > Z Z doesn’t make any sense since at least one of the Z has to be on shell.

Thanks a lot
Hammad

Hi,

Please send me the information that i ask for.
- proc_card
- param_card
- run_card
- anything else relevant.

That you use to produce your number. Without that information I have no way to cross-check your computation.
For example, is your h > 4l have a photon contribution or not? (Actualy did you try both choice?) Did you use the same width as in the Yellow report, …

> Also, kindly could you please explain what did you mean by //h > Z Z doesn’t make any sense since at least one of the Z has to be on shell.

I was meaning one of the Z to be off-shell, so in itself a BR to ZZ is meaningless (since it doesn’t make sense in the Narrow-width approximation).
But it does not matter for your question since you actually ask about the H > 4l BR and not the H to ZZ.

Cheers,

Olivier

Thanks for your help

Hi Ahmed,

Here is a list of problem that I have found in your cards:
1) cut_decay is on T and ptl is on 10. Therefore some cut apply on the final state lepton. Such cut are never use for the computation of BR. You should either put
cut_decay on False or remove manually the cut on the minimum pt of the lepton.

2) I don’t see in the Yellow Report that you send to me that the computation done force two intermediate Z, this process has also a contribution from the Higgs decay in Gamma*.
I have compare the two and the difference is around 5%

3) With your card, I do not reproduce your result! for the cards that you provide to me, I have as result: 0.0006395 ± 2.4e-06
and not 0.000412. Are you sure that you provide me the correct card?

Cheers,

Olivier

Dear Dr Olivier
First of all, i want to thank you for your help.
Now i see, the problem was the photon contribution and MG cuts.
Thanks again
Ahmed
