Higgs boson photoproduction at the LHC
arXiv:1101.5604 · doi:10.1063/1.3601392
Abstract
We present the current development of the photoproduction approach for the Higgs boson with its application to and collisions at the LHC. We perform a different analysis for the Gap Survival Probability, where we consider a probability of 3% and also a more optimistic value of 10% based on the HERA data for dijet production. As a result, the cross section for the exclusive Higgs boson production is about 2 fb and 6 fb in collisions and 617 and 2056 fb for Pb collisions, considering the gap survival factor of 3% and 10%, respectively.
