Laser-assisted production of the light charged Higgs boson from top quark decay in the type-I two Higgs doublet model

We investigate the impact of a circularly polarized laser field on the top quark decay process into a charged Higgs boson ($t\rightarrow bH^+$) within the type-I two Higgs doublet model. Our study aims to explore how an external electromagnetic field can modify key observables and potentially facilitate the experimental detection of the charged Higgs boson, addressing challenges related to missing energy in collider experiments such as the LHC. Employing the Dirac-Volkov formalism, we model the interaction between charged particles and the laser field and demonstrate that the presence of the laser can notably influence the decay branching ratios under suitable conditions. The analysis reveals that both the intensity and frequency of the laser field play a crucial role in determining the decay width. In particular, for a laser field strength of $3.8\times 10^{14}$ V/cm and a photon energy of $0.117$ eV, the branching ratio of the top quark decaying into a charged Higgs boson with mass in the range $80$-$150$ GeV and a bottom quark reaches $0.97$, surpassing the standard $t\rightarrow bW^+$ channel. These results suggest that strong electromagnetic fields can serve as an effective mechanism to enhance signals of new particles, offering promising avenues for experimental searches beyond the Standard Model.

Relativistic elastic scattering of a muon neutrino by an electron in an elliptically polarized laser field

Within the framework of electroweak theory, we investigate the elastic scattering process $ e^{-} + ν_μ \rightarrow e^{-} + ν_μ$ in the presence of an intense elliptically polarized laser field. We derive an analytical expression for the spin-unpolarized differential cross section using the first Born approximation and the Dirac-Volkov states to describe the incident and scattered electrons. Our results generalize those found for the linearly polarized field by Bai \textit{et al.} [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{85}, 013402 (2012)] and for the circularly polarized field by El Asri \textit{et al.} [Phys. Rev. D \textbf{104}, 113001 (2021)]. We find that the differential cross section is significantly enhanced for linear polarization and reduced for circular and elliptical polarizations.

Laser-assisted charged Higgs boson decay in Two Higgs Doublet Model -- type II

In this paper, we investigate the charged Higgs boson decay in the context of the type-II two-Higgs-doublet model in the presence of a circularly polarized electromagnetic field of laser radiation. The calculations are performed by adopting the Furry picture approach of non-perturbative interactions with the external electromagnetic field. Using the method of exact solutions for charged particles states in the presence of a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave field and evaluating the $S$-matrix elements, an exact analytic expression is derived for the decay width of leptonic, hadronic and bosonic decay modes. The branching ratios of different decay modes with multiple photon emission and absorption from the laser beam are analyzed and found to be dramatically modified in the region of superstrong fields. The dependencies of the decay width on the laser field strength and frequency are also examined. The results obtained may be interesting for future experimental and theoretical investigations.

Laser-assisted scattering of a muon neutrino by an electron within the Electroweak theory

In accordance with the electroweak theory, we perform, in the first-Born approximation, a detailed analytical treatment of the differential cross-section (DCS) for the elastic scattering process $e^{-}+ν_μ\longrightarrow e^{-}+ν_μ$ in both absence and presence of a circularly polarized laser field. This scattering process is examined by using Dirac-Volkov wave functions for charged particles within an external laser field. The theoretical results obtained for the differential cross-section without laser field are compared with other theoretical results within the framework of Fermi theory. These results revealed to us the most important points that contribute to the understanding of the electroweak theory role in solving the problem of unitarity violation of the differential cross-section in Fermi theory. The differential cross section is modified significantly by inserting the electrons into an electromagnetic field. In addition, the influence of the laser strength and its frequency on the photons exchange between the colliding system and the laser field are also included and discussed. These effects are heavily related to the order and argument of the ordinary Bessel functions introduced in the theoretical calculation.

Analysis of the geometric effect on laser-assisted decay processes

Choosing a specific direction for the propagation of laser field waves often presents a challenge for researchers studying laser-assisted ultrafast quantum processes. They are faced with the question of why exactly this direction and not another. This paper resolves the discussion in this issue regarding decay processes. Therefore, we study theoretically the pion decay process in the presence of a circularly polarized laser field propagating along an arbitrary general direction. Using the first Born approximation and the Dirac-Volkov states for charged particles, we derive an analytic expression for the decay rate. The direction of the laser field was found to have no significant effect on the nature of the result obtained. This study generalizes the results found for a field with a wave vector along the $z$-axis in a recent paper (Phys Rev D 102:073006, 2020). This paper will serve as a justification for the choice of a specific direction for the laser field in laser-assisted decay processes. The effect of the laser field on the total decay rate has also been reported and discussed.

Elastic scattering of a muon neutrino by an electron in the presence of a circularly polarized laser field

In view of the great contribution of neutrino-electron scattering to the deep understanding of electroweak interactions, we focus in this paper on the study of elastic scattering of a muon neutrino by an electron $(e^{-}ν_μ\rightarrow e^{-}ν_μ)$ in the presence of a circularly polarized electromagnetic field. We perform our theoretical calculation within the framework of Fermi theory using the exact wave functions of charged particles in an electromagnetic field. The expression of the differential cross section (DCS) for this process is obtained analytically in the absence and presence of the laser field. The effect of the field strength and frequency on the exchange of photons as well as on the DCS is presented and analyzed. Massive neutrino effects are also included and discussed. This study, added to the previous ones, will significantly enrich our knowledge in fundamental physics.
