Pseudo-Goldstone Higgs Production via Gluon Fusion

arXiv:0711.0828 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.77.055018

Abstract

The gluon-gluon-higgs amplitude is investigated in the context of 5D models of gauge-higgs unification. A simple algorithm allows to include, in a fully analytical way, the contribution of the whole Kaluza-Klein tower of a 5D quark to the amplitude. This algorithm is applied to realistic models based on SO(5) symmetry. Within the studied classes of models, the higgs production cross section is always suppressed.
