Determination of the relative sign of the Higgs boson couplings to W and Z bosons using WH production via vector-boson fusion with the ATLAS detector
arxiv(2024)
摘要
The associated production of Higgs and W bosons via vector-boson fusion
(VBF) is highly sensitive to the relative sign of the Higgs boson couplings to
W and Z bosons. In this Letter, two searches for this process are
presented, using 140 fb^-1 of proton-proton collision data at √(s) =
13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The first search targets
scenarios with opposite-sign couplings of the W and Z bosons to the Higgs
boson, while the second targets Standard Model-like scenarios with same-sign
couplings. Both analyses consider Higgs decays into a pair of b-quarks and
W decays with an electron or muon. The opposite-sign coupling hypothesis is
excluded with significance much greater than 5σ, and the observed
(expected) upper limit set on the cross-section for VBF WH production is 9.0
(8.7) times the Standard Model value.
