FB asymmetry

  • Only one angle.

Claim: you can construct a FB asymmetry

  • Just Zɣ itself?
  • Interference with ɣɣ
  • HL-LHC might not be enough

4 leptons

  • Intereference with ZZ
  • HL-LHC necessary

few % precision

  • How to disentangle

different effects? (not a smoking gun)

Converted photons?

  • Same idea of ɣɣ, photons converting to e+e- pairs
  • Even more challenging

Our proposal

  • What else can you interefere with?
  • “QCD” Background!
  • Different set of Higgs couplings involved

How can we get the coefficients?

  • Do the full computation
  • Quick and painless: MCFM (custom)

Future colliders?

  • One could use VBF at lepton colliders

(not competitive?)

  • What about a 100TeV collider?

Conclusions

  • H → Zɣ is hard!
  • At least HL-LHC is mandatory: yet very challenging

measurements

  • Do we need better ideas?
