Higgs produced by gluon fusion and decays to a long lived particle

Hi,

I do not know,
each peace should already exists
g g > h, you can use the heft model (if your X mass is below half top mass of course, otherwise you will need loop induced process)

for h > X X
They should be a lot of BSM model with exotic decay for the Higgs (or you can look at Dark Matter model)
in that case X can basically be anything you want (scalar, fermion, ...)
making him near stable should not be an issue.
You should check the feynrules database and start from those lagrangians.
If you are not sure about the content of a model, you can contact the author of that particular model.
If you need more help on which model exists or not, you can contact the FR authors.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Many thanks for your reply!

If I were to use two models, say heft and a dark matter model, is there a way I can “combine” the two models?

Many thanks,

Ameir

At FeynRules level, you sum the Lagrangian and then run FR, this sounds trivial (at the same time I'm not a FR expert)

Now this particular merging heft +BSM is actually possible to perform at MG5aMC level as well via the command
import model XXXXX
add model hgg_plugin --output=YYYYYY

Then you will have a new YYYYYY directory with the UFO format and you can check if it works as you expect.

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Many thanks for your answer! That helped alot! :)

Many thanks,

Ameir

Hi - just stumbled on your question : you are looking for this work

http://inspirehep.net/record/1355365

model file and software is also available from there

:)

Hi Fabrizio,

Many thanks for your comment and apologies for the tardiness of mine. I will have a look at your paper and model :)

Many thanks,

Ameir
