Search for pseudoscalar Higgs boson $A_0$ of the Bestest Little Higgs model at the LHC and FCC-hh

We analyse the sensitivity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Future Circular Collider-hadron-hadron (FCC-hh) to the existence of pseudoscalar Higgs boson $A_0$ predicted by the Bestest Little Higgs model. We study the tree-level (two and three body) and one-loop decays of the pseudoscalar, $A_0 \to b\bar b, t \bar t, γt\bar t, γb \bar b, Zt\bar t, Zb \bar b, Wt\bar b, h_0 t \bar t, h_0 b \bar b$, and $A_0 \to γγ, γZ, ZZ, gg, WW$, respectively. In addition, we perform a phenomenological study of the production of the pseudoscalar $A_0$ via gluon fusion $gg \to A_0 \to Y$ processes, where $Y \equiv γγ, γZ, ZZ, gg, WW$. From the cross section of the processes of interest and the expected integrated luminosity of the LHC and FCC-hh, we determined the number of events that could be produced in both colliders.

The future muon collider for the research of the anomalous neutral quartic $Zγγγ$, $ZZγγ$, and $ZZZγ$ couplings

In the post-LHC era, the muon collider represents a frontier project capable of providing high-energy and high-luminosity leptonic collisions among future lepton-lepton particle accelerators. In addition, it provides significantly cleaner final states than those produced in hadron collisions. With this expectation in mind, in this article, we research the sensitivity of the anomalous neutral gauge boson couplings $Zγγγ$, $ZZγγ$, and $ZZZγ$ defined by dimension-8 operators, through the $μ^+μ^- \to μ^+μ^-Zγ$ signal, with the $Z$-boson decaying to a neutrino pair. The projections at the future muon collider with a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=10$ TeV, integrated luminosity of ${\cal L}=10$ $\rm ab^{-1}$, and systematic uncertainties of $δ_{sys}=0\%, 3\%, 5\%$, give an expected sensitivity on the anomalous $f_ {T,j}/Λ^4$ couplings at $95\%$ confidence level of the order of ${\cal O}(10^{-3}- 10^{-1})$ $\rm TeV^{-4}$. Compared with the research of the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations on the anomalous quartic gauge couplings, we find that the high-luminosity future muon collider could have better sensitivity.

The new $Z'$ boson of the Bestest Little Higgs Model as a portal to signatures of Higgs bosons $h_0$ and $H_0$ at the future muon collider

We study the new $Z'$ boson as a portal for the production of Higgs bosons $h_0$ and $H_0$ predicted by the Bestest Little Higgs Model through the Higgs-strahlung processes $μ^+μ^- \to (Z, Z') \to Zh_0, ZH_0$. We focus on the resonance and non-resonance effects of the $Zh_0, ZH_0$ signals. In our analysis, we consider the center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}=3, 4, 6, 10, 30$ TeV and integrated luminosities of ${\cal L}=2, 4, 6, 10, 30$ ${\rm ab^{-1}}$ projected for a future muon collider. The possibility of performing precision measurements for the Higgs bosons $h_0$ and $H_0$ is very promising at the future muon collider. Furthermore, our results may be helpful to the High Energy Physics community. Complementarily, we generate and provide the Feynman rules necessary for studying the processes $μ^+μ^- \to (Z, Z') \to Zh_0, ZH_0$.

Expected sensitivity on the anomalous quartic neutral gauge couplings in $γγ$ collisions at the CLIC

The presence of multi-boson self-interactions is implied by the non-Abelian gauge structure of the Standard Model (SM). Precise measurements of these interactions allow not only testing the nature of the SM but also new physics contribution arising from the beyond SM. The investigation of these interactions can be approached in a model-independent manner using an effective theory approach, which forms the main motivation of this study. In this paper, we examine the anomalous neutral quartic gauge couplings through the process $γγ\rightarrow Z Z$ at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) with the center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=3$ TeV, integrated luminosities of ${\cal L}=5$ $\rm ab^{-1}$. The anomalous neutral quartic gauge couplings is implemented into FeynRules to generate a UFO module inserted into Madgraph to generate both background and signal events. These events are then passed through Pythia 8 for parton showering and Delphes to include realistic detector effects. We obtain that the sensitivities on the anomalous quartic neutral gauge couplings with $95\%$ Confidence Level are given as: $f_{T0}/Λ^{4}=[-1.06; 1.08]\times 10^{-3}$ ${\rm TeV^{-4}}$, $f_{T1}/Λ^{4}=[-1.06; 1.08]\times 10^{-3}$ ${\rm TeV^{-4}}$,$f_{T2}/Λ^{4}=[-1.06; 1.08]\times 10^{-3}$ ${\rm TeV^{-4}}$,$f_{T0}/Λ^{4}=[-1.06; 1.08]\times 10^{-3}$ ${\rm TeV^{-4}}$, $f_{T5}/Λ^{4}=[-4.08; 4.08]\times 10^{-4}$ ${\rm TeV^{-4}}$ and $f_{T8}/Λ^{4}=[-1.10; 1.10]\times10^{-4}$ ${\rm TeV^{-4}}$. Our results on the anomalous quartic neutral gauge couplings are set more stringent sensitivity with respect to the recent experimental limits.

Flavor-changing top quark rare decays in the Bestest Little Higgs Model

This paper investigates the effects of parameters in the Bestest Little Higgs Model (BLHM) on rare flavor-changing decays of the top quark. As a result, flavor-changing phenomena are introduced in the BLHM for the first time. In this study, we incorporate new flavor mixing terms between the light quarks of the Standard Model (SM) and the fermions and bosons of the BLHM. We compute the one-loop contributions from the heavy quark $(B)$ and the heavy bosons $(W^{\prime\pm}, ϕ^{\pm}, η^{\pm},H^{\pm})$. Our findings demonstrate that the branching ratios of decays $t\to qV$ and $t\to qh^0$, where $q=u,c$ and $V=Z, γ, g $, exhibit improvements compared to their counterparts in the SM, except for the gluon case. Moreover, we observe that the processes with higher sensitivity are $Br(t\to cZ)\sim 10^{-5}$, $Br(t\to cγ)\sim 10^{-6}$ and $Br(t \to ch^0) \sim 10^{-8}$ within the appropriate parameter space.

Study of the projected sensitivity on the anomalous quartic gauge couplings via $Zγγ$ production at the CLIC

Gauge boson self-couplings are completely defined by the non-Abelian gauge symmetry of the Standard Model (SM). For this reason, a direct search for these couplings is extremely significant in understanding the gauge structure of the SM. The possible deviation from the SM predictions of gauge boson self-couplings would be a sign of the presence of new physics beyond the SM. In this work, we study the sensitivities on the anomalous couplings defined by dimension-8 operators related to the $ZZγγ$ and $Zγγγ$ quartic vertices through the process $e^+e^- \to Zγγ$ with Z-boson decaying to charged leptons at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). We analyze the center-of-mass energy of 3 TeV, integrated luminosities of ${\cal L}=1, 4, 5$ $\rm ab^{-1}$, systematic uncertainties of $δ_{sys}=0\%, 3\%, 5\%$, unpolarized and polarized electron beams and considering the Initial State Radiation and Beamstrahlung effects for extraction of expected sensitivity on the anomalous $f_ {T,j}/Λ^4$ couplings at $95\%$ confidence level, which are especially sensitive to the $Zγγ$ channel. It is clear from the results that we expect better limits on the couplings if the systematic error is improved. The best limits obtained on the anomalous quartic couplings for the process $e^+e^- \to Zγγ$ with $\sqrt{s}= 3$ TeV, ${\cal L}=5$ $\rm ab^{-1}$, and $δ_{sys}=0\%$ can be approximately improved up to about 1.1 times better than the limits obtained with $δ_{sys}=5\%$. Our sensitivities on the anomalous quartic couplings can set more stringent sensitivity by two orders of magnitude concerning the best sensitivity derived from the current experimental limits. Finally, with initial electron beam polarization, the sensitivity of the anomalous quartic couplings improves by almost a factor of 1.2.

Searching the anomalous electromagnetic and weak dipole moments of the top-quark at the Bestest Little Higgs Model

In this paper, using a Bestest Little Higgs Model (BLHM) approach, we obtain bounds on the top-quark electromagnetic and weak dipole moments. These physical observables are sensitive to quantum corrections induced by virtual particles at the one-loop level. The contributions of the virtual particles are obtained from the vertices of scalar bosons, vector bosons, and heavy quarks: $tq_iS_i$, $S_i=h_0, H_0, A_0, ϕ^{0}, η^{0}, σ, H^{\pm}, ϕ^{\pm}, η^{\pm}$; $tq_iV_i$, $V_i= γ, Z, W, Z', W'$; $V q_i\bar q_i$, $V=γ,Z$, $q_i=b, t, B, T, T_5, T_6, T^{2/3}, T^{5/3}$; $ V W^{-}_{i}Φ^{+}_i $, $W_{i} \equiv W, W'$, $Φ^{\pm}_{i}= ϕ^{\pm}, η^{\pm}$; $ZZH_i$, $H_i=h_0, H_0$; $ZZ' H_i$; and $VW'W'$. With these new contributions, we evaluated the electroweak dipole moments $ a_t$, $ a^{W}_t $, $ d_t $ and $ d^{W}_{t} $ of the top-quark in the diagonalization schemes $y_2 > y_3$ and $y_2 < y_3$ to the Yukawa couplings. For the BLHM parameters, we choose the following values of $m_{A_0}= 1000$ GeV, $m_{η^0}= 100$ GeV, $f=[1000, 3000]$ GeV, $F=[3000, 6000]$ GeV and $\tanβ=3$, which give the best sensitivity on the electroweak dipole moments of the top-quark in this context: $a_t=1.39 \times 10^{-4} + i\, 6.55 \times 10^{-5}$; $a^{W}_t=6.31 \times 10^{-5} - i\, 1.39 \times 10^{-5}$ for the $y_2 > y_3 $ scenario, while $a_t= 2.12 \times 10^{-4} + i\, 4.49 \times 10^{-5}$; $a^{W}_t= 2.13 \times 10^{-4} - i\, 1.34 \times 10^{-5}$ for the $y_2 < y_3 $ scenario.

Future projections on the anomalous $WWγγ$ couplings in hadron-hadron interactions at the FCC-hh

We carry out a study in the approach of a dimension-8 effective field theory on the anomalous quartic $WWγγ$ couplings that arise from the process $pp \to Wγγ$ at the Future Circular Collider-hadron hadron (FCC-hh). The process is sensitive to the $WWγγ$ vertex, and future projections on the anomalous $f_ {M,i}/Λ^4$ and $ f_ {T,j}/Λ^4$ couplings can be put by measurements of $Wγγ$ production. We illustrate the physics opportunities and reach of the FCC-hh operating for a high integrated luminosity scenario of ${\cal L}=1, 5, 10, 30$ ${\rm ab}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=100$ TeV and systematic uncertainties of $δ_{sys}=0\%, 3\%, 5\%, 10\%$. Production cross-sections of the signal and the sensitivity constraints on the anomalous $f_ {M,i}/Λ^4$ and $ f_ {T,j}/Λ^4$ couplings at $95\%$ C.L. are identified through the leptonic and hadronic decay modes of the $W$-boson. The FCC-hh sensitivity on these anomalous couplings is expected might reach up to the order of magnitude ${\cal O}(10^{-4}-10^1)$. These sensitivity perspectives indicate that the $pp \to Wγγ$ channel at the FCC-hh has a greater potential to search for the anomalous quartic $WWγγ$ couplings and to search for new physics than present colliders.

Study on the anomalous quartic $W^+W^-γγ$ couplings of electroweak bosons in $e^-p$ collisions at the LHeC and the FCC-he

In this paper, a study is carried out on the $e^-p \to e^-γ^* p \to p W^+γν_e$ production to probe quartic $W^+W^-γγ$ couplings using 10, 100 ${\rm fb^{-1}}$ of $e^-p$ collisions data at $\sqrt{s}$= 1.30, 1.98 GeV at the Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) and 100, 1000 ${\rm fb^{-1}}$ with $\sqrt{s}$= 3.46, 5.29 GeV at the Future Circular Collider-hadron electron (FCC-he). Production cross-sections are determined for both at leptonic and hadronic decay channel of the $W$-boson. With the data from future $e^-p$ colliders, it is possible to obtain sensitivity measures at $95\%$ C.L. on the anomalous $f_ {M,i}/Λ^4$ and $ f_ {T,i}/Λ^4$ couplings which are competitive with the limits obtained by the LHC, as well as with others limits reported in the literature. The production mode $e^-p \to e^-γ^* p \to p W^+γν_e $ in $e^-p$ collisions offers a window for study the quartic $W^+W^-γγ$ electroweak bosons couplings at the LHeC and the FCC-he, which provides a much cleaner collision environment than the LHC.

Sensitivity physics expected to the measurement of the quartic $WWγγ$ couplings at the LHeC and the FCC-he

We explore the physics expected sensitivity at the Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) and the Future Circular Collider-hadron electron (FCC-he) to search for the anomalous quartic $WWγγ$ couplings in single $W$-boson production in association with a photon. We study the process $ep \to e^-γ^* p \to eWγq'X$ via the subprocess $γ^* q \to Wγq'$. The center-of-mass energies and luminosities of the LHeC are assumed to be $\sqrt{s}=1.30, 1.98$ TeV, ${\cal L}=10-100$ ${\rm fb^{-1} }$ and for the FCC-he $\sqrt{s}=3.46, 5.29$ TeV and ${\cal L}=100-1000$ ${\rm fb^{-1} }$. With these energies and luminosities, we estimate bounds on the anomalous quartic $WWγγ$ couplings at $95\%$ C.L., which can be an order of magnitude stringent than the experimental limits report by ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at the LHC.

Anomalous quartic $WWγγ$ couplings in $ep$ collisions at the LHeC and the FCC-he

We conducted a study on measuring $W^+W^-$ production and on the sensitivity limits at $95\%$ Confidence Level on thirteen anomalous couplings obtained by dimension-8 operators which are related to the anomalous quartic $WWγγ$ couplings. We consider the main $e^-p \to e^-γ^*γ^*p \to e^-W^+W^-p$ reaction with the sub-process $γ^*γ^* \to W^+W^-$ at the Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) and the Future Circular Collider-hadron electron (FCC-he). For the LHeC, energies of the $e^-$ beams are taken to be $E_e =60$ and 140 GeV and the energy of the $p$ beams is taken to be $E_p = 7$ TeV. For the FCC-he, energies of the $e^-$ beams are taken to be $E_e =60$ and 140 GeV and the energy of the $p$ beams is taken to be $E_p = 50$ TeV, respectively. It is interesting to notice that the LHeC and the FCC-he will lead to model-independent limits on the anomalous quartic $WWγγ$ couplings which are one order of magnitude stringent than the CMS Collaboration limits, in addition to being competitive with other limits reported in the literature.

Projections for model-independent sensitivity estimates on top-quark anomalous electromagnetic couplings at the FCC-he

The measurement of the top-quark anomalous electromagnetic couplings is one of the most important goals of the top-quark physics program in the present and future collider experiments. This would provide direct information on the non-standard interactions of the top-quark. We study a top-quark pair production scenario at the Future Circular Collider Hadron-Electron (FCC-he) through $e^-p \to e^-γ^*γ^*p \to e^-t\bar t p$ collisions, which will provide information about sensitivities on anomalous $\hat a_V$ and $\hat a_A$ couplings at $95\%\hspace{0.8mm}C.L.$, and the possibility of probing new physics. Energy of the $e^-$ beams is taken to be $E_e=250\hspace{0.8mm}GeV$ and $500\hspace{0.8mm}GeV$ and the energy of the $p$ beams is taken to be $E_p=50\hspace{0.8mm}TeV$, with these energies the FCC-he may sensitivity estimates on top-quark electromagnetic dipole moments $\hat a_V$ and $\hat a_A$ of the order ${\cal O}(10^{-2}-10^{-1})$.

Probing model-independent limits on $W^+W^-γ$ triple gauge boson vertex at the LHeC and the FCC-he

We study the cross-section of production of a single $W^-$ boson in association with a neutrino through the process $e^-p \to e^-γ^*p \to ν_eW^- p$. Additionally, we obtain the anomalous couplings $Δκ_γ$ and $λ_γ$ of the $W^+W^-γ$ vertex at the Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) and the Future Circular Collider Hadron-Electron (FCC-he). The impact of the polarized beam due to the electron is also analyzed. Our best limits for $Δκ_γ$ and $λ_γ$ at the $95\%$ C.L. are: $Δκ_γ= \pm 0.0017$, $λ_γ= \pm 0.0053$ (unpolarized electron beam) and $Δκ_γ= \pm 0.0013$, $λ_γ= \pm 0.0046$ (polarized electron beam) identifying the $W^-$ boson through the hadronic decay channel. In addition, the $e^-γ^* \to ν_eW^-$ collision is one of the clean, pure and simple process to investigate the $W^+W^-γ$ coupling without the complications of QCD backgrounds.

Model-independent limits for anomalous triple gauge bosons $W^+W^-γ$ coupling at the CLIC

We investigate the potential of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) to probe the anomalous $W^+W^-γ$ coupling in $γγ$, $γγ^*$ and $γ^*γ^*$ collisions through the processes $γγ\rightarrow W^+ W^-$, $e^+ γ\rightarrow e^+ γ^{*} γ\rightarrow e^+ W^- W^+$ and $e^+ e^-\rightarrow e^+ γ^{*} γ^{*} e^- \rightarrow e^+ W^- W^+ e^-$. We perform leptonic, semi-leptonic and hadronic decays channels for $W^+W^-$ production in the final state. Taking ${\cal L}=1\hspace{0.8mm}{\rm ab^{-1}}@ \sqrt{s}=0.380\hspace{0.8mm}{\rm TeV}$, ${\cal L}=2.5\hspace{0.8mm}{\rm ab^{-1}}@ \sqrt{s}=1.5\hspace{0.8mm}{\rm TeV}$ and ${\cal L}=5\hspace{0.8mm}{\rm ab^{-1}}@ \sqrt{s}=3\hspace{0.8mm}{\rm TeV}$, based on future CLIC data, the limits for $Δκ_γ$ and $λ_γ$ might reach up to ${\cal O}(10^{-5}-10^{-4})$ level in the most ideal with 5\hspace{0.8mm}${\rm ab^{-1}}$ set data, which shows a potential advantage compared to those from LHC, Tevatron and LEP data. Thus, our results represent that the processes $γγ\rightarrow W^+ W^-$, $e^+ γ\rightarrow e^+ γ^{*} γ\rightarrow e^+ W^- W^+$ and $e^+ e^-\rightarrow e^+ γ^{*} γ^{*} e^- \rightarrow e^+ W^- W^+ e^-$ at the CLIC are a very good prospect for probing the anomalous $W^+W^-γ$ couplings.

Sensitivity measuring expected on the electromagnetic anomalous couplings in the $t\bar tγ$ vertex at the FCC-he

In this paper, we consider the electroweak production cross-section of a single anti-top-quark, a neutrino and a photon via charged current through the $e^-p \to e^-\bar b \to \bar t ν_e γ\to \bar t(\to W^- \to (qq', l^- \barν_l)+b) ν_eγ$ signal. Further, we derived the sensitivity expected to the magnetic dipole moment $(\hat a_V)$ and the electric dipole moment $(\hat a_A)$ of the top-quark at the Future Circular Collider Hadron Electron (FCC-he). We present our study for $\sqrt{s}=7.07, 10\hspace{0.8mm}TeV$, ${\cal L}=50, 100, 300, 500, 1000\hspace{0.8mm}fb^{-1}$, $δ_{sys}=0, 3, 5\hspace{0.8mm}\%$ and $P_{e^-}=0\%, 80\%, -80\%$, respectively. We find that the sensitivity estimated on dipole moments of the top-quark is of the order of magnitude ${\cal O}(10^{-1})$ for both hadronic and leptonic decay modes of $W^-$: $\hat a_V=[-0.2308, 0.2204]$, $|\hat a_A|=0.2259$ at $95\%$ C.L. in the hadronic channel with unpolarized electron beam $P_{e^-}=0\%$. Our results with polarized electron beam for $P_{e^-}=80\%$ and $P_{e^-}=-80\%$ are $\hat a_V=[-0.3428, 0.3321]$, $|\hat a_A|=0.3371$ and $\hat a_V=[-0.2041, 0.1858]$, $|\hat a_A|=0.1939$ at $95\%$ C.L. in the hadronic channel. The corresponding results for the leptonic channel with $P_{e^-}=0\%, 80\% -80\%$ are $\hat a_V=[-0.3067, 0.2963]$, $|\hat a_A|=0.3019$, $\hat a_V=[-0.4563, 0.4456]$, $|\hat a_A|=0.4505$ and $\hat a_V=[-0.2695, 0.2512]$, $|\hat a_A|=0.2592$, respectively. The results for $\hat a_V$ and $\hat a_A$ in the leptonic channel are weaker by a factor of 0.75 than those corresponding to the hadronic channel. Given these prospective sensitivities we highlight that the FCC-he is potential top-quark factory that is particularly well suited to sensitivity study on its dipole moments and with cleaner environments.

FCC-he sensitivity estimates on the anomalous electromagnetic dipole moments of the top-quark

In this paper, we study the production of a top-quark in association with a bottom-quark and a electron-neutrino at the Future Circular Collider Hadron Electron (FCC-he) to probe the sensitivity on its magnetic moment $(\hat a_V)$ and its electromagnetic dipole moment $(\hat a_A)$ through the process $e^-p \to e^-γp \to \bar t ν_e b p$. Assuming a large amount of collisions, as well as of data with cleaner environments, the FCC-he is an excellent option to study new physics, such as the $\hat a_V$ and $\hat a_A$. For our sensitivity study on $\hat a_V$ and $\hat a_A$, we consider center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}= 7.07, 10\hspace{0.8mm}TeV$ and luminosities ${\cal L}=50, 100, 300, 500, 1000\hspace{0.8mm}fb^{-1}$. In addition, we apply systematic uncertainties $δ_{sys}=0\%, 3\%, 5\%$ and we consider unpolarized and polarized electron beam. Our results show that the FCC-he is a very good perspective to probe the $\hat a_V$ and $\hat a_A$ at high-energy and high-luminosity frontier.

Feasibility at the LHC, FCC-he and CLIC for sensitivity estimates on anomalous $τ$-lepton couplings

In this paper, we present detailed studies on the feasibility at $pp$, $e^-p$ and $e^+e^-$ colliders for model-independent sensitivity estimates on the total cross-section and on the anomalous $τ^+τ^-γ$ interaction through the tau pair production channels $pp \to pτ\bar τγp$, $e^-p \to e^- τ\bar τγp$ and $e^+e^- \to e^+ τ\bar τγe^-$ at the $γ^*γ^* \to τ^+τ^-γ$ mode. Measurements of the anomalous couplings of the $τ$-lepton $\tilde{a}_τ$ and $\tilde{d}_τ$ provide an excellent opportunity to probing extensions of the Standard Model. We estimate the sensitivity at the $95\%$ Confidence Level, and we consider that the $τ$-lepton decays leptonically or semi-leptonically. We found that of the three considered colliders, the future CLIC at high energy and high luminosity should provide the best sensitivity on the dipole moments of the $τ$-lepton $\tilde a_τ= [-0.00128, 0.00105]$ and $ |\tilde{d}_τ({\rm ecm})|= 6.4394\times 10^{-18}$, which show a potential advantage compared to those from LHC and FCC-he.
