How well do we need to measure Higgs boson couplings?
arXiv:1206.3560 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.86.095001
Abstract
Most of the discussion regarding the Higgs boson couplings to Standard Model vector bosons and fermions is presented with respect to what present and future collider detectors will be able to measure. Here, we ask the more physics-based question of how well do we need to measure the Higgs boson couplings? We first present a reasonable definition of "need" and then investigate the answer in the context of various highly motivated new physics scenarios: supersymmetry, mixed-in hidden sector Higgs bosons, and a composite Higgs boson. We find the largest coupling deviations away from the SM Higgs couplings that are possible if no other state related to EWSB is directly accessible at the LHC. Depending on the physics scenario under consideration, we find targets that range from less than 1% to 10% for vector bosons, and from a few percent to tens of percent for couplings to fermions.
