Consistency bounds on the Higgs-boson mass

In this talk we consider the modifications induced by heavy physics on the triviality and vacuum stability bounds on the Higgs-boson mass. We parameterize the heavy interactions using an effective Lagrangian and find that the triviality bound is essentially unaffected for weakly-coupled heavy physics. In contrast there are significant modifications in the stability bound that for a light Higgs boson require a scale of new physics of the order of a few TeV.

Bounds on the Higgs-Boson Mass in the Presence of Non-Standard Interactions

The triviality and vacuum stability bounds on the Higgs-boson mass are revisited in the presence of new interactions parameterized in a model-independent way by an effective lagrangian. When the scale of new physics is below 50 TeV the triviality bound is unchanged but the stability lower bound is increased by 40-60 GeV. Should the Higgs-boson mass be close to its current lower experimental limit, this leads to the possibility of new physics at the scale of a few TeV, even for modest values of the effective lagrangian parameters.

Testing Scalar-Sector CP Violation in Top-Quark Production and Decay at Linear e+e- Colliders

We consider a general two-Higgs-doublet model with CP violation in the scalar sector. Three neutral Higgs fields of the model all mix and the resulting physical Higgs bosons have no definite CP properties. That leads, at the one-loop level of the perturbation expansion, to CP-violating form factors for gamma-t-tbar, Z-t-tbar and W-t-b interaction vertices. We discuss asymmetries sensitive to CP violation induced by the form factors for the process e^+ e^- -> t tbar -> l^\pm ... and e^+ e^- -> t tbar -> b/bbar ... at future linear e+ e- colliders.

Testing CP Violation in the Higgs Sector at Muon Colliders

We study the possibility of measuring the muon Yukawa couplings in s-channel Higgs boson production at a muon collider with transversely polarized beams. We investigate sensitivity to the relative size of the CP-odd and CP-even muon Yukawa couplings. Provided the event rate observed justifies the operation of the mu+mu- Higgs boson factory, we find that 40% polarization for both beams is sufficient to resolve the CP nature of a single resonance as well as disentangle it from two overlapping CP conserving resonances.

Measuring the relative CP-even and CP-odd Yukawa couplings of a Higgs boson at a muon-collider Higgs factory

We study a possibility of a measurement of muon Yukawa couplings in s-channel Higgs boson production at a muon collider with transversely polarized beams. We investigate sensitivity to the relative size of the CP-odd and CP-even muon Yukawa couplings. Provided the event rate observed justify the operation of the $μ^+μ^-$ Higgs boson factory, we have found that polarization degree 40% is sufficient to resolve the CP nature of a single resonance as well as disentangle it from two overlapping CP conserving resonances.

New Hints for Testing Anomalous Top-Quark Interactions at Future Linear Colliders

Angular and energy distributions for leptons and bottom quarks in the process e^+e^- --> t t-bar --> l^{+-}/b(b-bar) ... have been calculated assuming the most general top-quark couplings. The double distributions depend both on modification of the t t-bar production and t(t-bar) --> b(b-bar) W decay vertices. However, the leptonic angular distribution turned out to be totally insensitive to non-standard parts of Wtb vertex. Distributions of decay products for polarized top quark in its rest frame have been also calculated. It has been found that the factorization of energy and angular dependence for the double leptonic distribution noticed earlier for the Standard Model survives even if one allows for deviations from the V-A interactions, and the SM angular leptonic distribution turned out to be preserved by anomalous decay vertex.

Testing Top-Quark Yukawa Interactions in e+ e- -> t \bar{t} Z

Determination of the top-quark Yukawa couplings in the process e+ e- -> t \bar{t} Z has been studied for the high luminosity option (\int L=500\fbinver) of a linear e+e- collider. Polarization of the electron beam has been considered. The method of optimal observables has been adopted to determine the couplings and to disentangle different models. It has been found that it could be possible to discriminate between the Standard Model scalar Higgs boson, pure pseudoscalar and the Higgs boson of mixed CP at about 12 σlevel for \sqrt{s}=1.TeV for the Higgs boson close to the production threshold both for the leptonic and hadronic top-quark decay channels. However, \sqrt{s}=.5 TeV collider turned out to have too small energy for tests of the top-quark Yukawa coupling because of its limited production rate (at most 2.5 σeffect). Possible tests of CP violation in the scalar sector have been considered.

SUSY-Induced CP Violation in $t$ Decays at $e^-e^+$ Colliders

CP violation in the decays $t \to \ell^+νb$ and $\bar t \to \ell^-\barν\bar b$ from the production process $e^-e^+ \to \ttbar$ is discussed. Since the asymmetry proposed as a measure of CP violation vanishes even at the one-loop level in the Standard Model (SM), it may be a useful tool to search for sources of CP violation outside of the SM. As an illustration the asymmetry has been computed within supersymmetric extensions of the SM. Prospects for its measurement at future high-energy linear colliders are discussed.

Energy Spectrum of Secondary Leptons in $e^+ e^- \to t\bar{t}$ - Non-standard Interactions and CP Violation -

The process of top-quark pair production at future high-energy $e^+ e^-$ linear colliders has been investigated as a possible test of physics beyond the Standard Model. Non-standard interactions have been assumed both for the production and for the subsequent decay of the top quarks. The energy spectrum of the single lepton $l^\pm$ and the energy correlation of $l^+$ and $l^-$ emerging from the process $e^+e^-\to t\bar{t}\to l^\pm X/l^+l^-X$ are calculated. The energy- spectrum asymmetry of $l^+$ and $l^-$ is considered as a measure of CP violation. An optimal method to determine whether CP violation occurs in the production or in the decay processes is proposed.

CP-Violating Lepton-Energy Correlation in e\bar{e}\to t\bar{t}

In order to observe a signal of possible CP violation in top-quark couplings, we have studied energy correlation of the final leptons in $e^+e^-\to t\bar{t} \to \ell^+\ell^-X / \ell^\pm X$ at future linear colliders. Applying the recently-proposed optimal method, we have compared the statistical significances of CP-violation-parameter determination using double- and single-lepton distributions. We have found that the single-lepton-distribution analysis is more advantageous.

Four-Fermi Effective Operators at e^+ e^- ---> \bar{t} t

The process of top quark pair production at Next Linear Collider (NLC) has been considered adopting an effective Lagrangian approach and including all operators of dim~6 which can be tree-level-generated within unknown underlying theory. All contributing helicity amplitudes are presented. It has been found that four-fermion operators can provide the leading non-standard contribution to the total cross section. Expected statistical significance of the non-standard signal for the total cross section and forward-backward asymmetry have been calculated taking into account existing experimental constraints. It has been shown that adopting realistic luminosity of NLC and conservative efficiency for the top-quark pair detection, the total cross section may be sensitive to non-standard physics of an energy scale around $Λ=5\tev$.

Higgs boson production at $e^+ e^-$ colliders: a model independent approach.

We consider non-Standard Model physics effects using an effective lagrangian parameterization. We determine the operators whose effects are most significant and extract the sensitivity to the scale of new physics generated by the existing data. We then consider processes containing the Higgs particle in $e^+e^-$ colliders as a probe for new physics effects, and demonstrate their usefulness in this area.
