Higgs selfcoupling • A Higgs like particle found at LHC! • Higgs?, SM Higgs or …. • coupling to fermions, gauge bosons • mass generation • selfcoupling • symmetry breaking even tough with the e+e- How can the PLC do ? T.Takahashi Hiroshima
Self-coupling constant in the SM Parameter of deviation from the SM This study S.Kawada.. et.al, Phys. Rev. D 85, 113009 (2012) Final goal: Study of Higgs self-coupling See feasibility of the measurement of Higgs pair creation in PLC. how may events expected? possible to suppress background? 17th General Meeting @ KEK

Event generation and Detector simulation • detector simulation • MC events • HH • WW • zz • bbbb dead !
Analysis • Signal • gg->HH->bbbb • Kinematics and flavor information • Jet clustering • forced 4 Jets • Jet pairing • b tagging • Event selection • pre-selection to reduced number of events • optimization with Neural Net
jet paring The jet of the least χ2 was chosen to be the most probable combination. M1, M2:reconstructed mass MH:Higgs mass are defined the same way (Mbb=10GeV)
Analysis ~ b tagging~ • impact parameter <- simple ! Nsig: Number of displaced tracks in a jet • L
Selection (1) pre-selection: cut tacks to forward/backward region loose b- tagging # Jet w/ more 0 off-vertex(>3s) tracks > 3 # Jet w/ more than 1 off-vertex(>3s) tracks > 2 b-tagging β:Lorentz factor of a particle θ:Angle between a particle and the beam
Selection (2) --- Neural Network (NN) • parameters: • χH2 ,χZ2, χbb2 • transverse (longitudinal) momentum, • # of jets with displaced vertex jets, • visible energy, • Ycutvalue of jet clustering, • # of tracks • Maximize statistical significance N: # of events occurring in 5 years η: selection efficiency Sig: signal BG: background

Summary • We tried to see gg -> HH in a photon collider based on TESLA optimistic parameters. • gg CM energy of 270GeV is optimum for mh =120GeV • It is possible to suppress backgrounds with improved jet clustering technique. • statistical significance of 4.9 with integrated luminosity corresonds to 5 years of PLC run
