Effects from New Colored States and the Higgs Portal on Gluon Fusion and Higgs Decays
arXiv:1205.4244 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.86.113002
Abstract
We study effects from new colored states and the Higgs portal on gluon fusion production. We isolate possible loop contributions from new colored scalars, fermions, and vectors, incorporating effects from Higgs portal-induced scalar mixing, leading to dramatic effects on gluon fusion and branching fractions. Higgs identification must generally allow for these effects, and using our results, possible tensions from fits to the Standard Model expectation can be relieved by inclusion of New Physics effects.
