LHC Constraints on the Lee-Wick Higgs Sector
arXiv:1403.0011 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2014.03.025
Abstract
We determine constraints on the Lee-Wick Higgs sector obtained from the full LHC Higgs boson data set. We determine the current lower bound on the heavy neutral Lee-Wick scalar, as well as projected bounds at a 14 TeV LHC with 300 and 3000 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity. We point out that the first sign of new physics in this model may be the observation of a deviation from standard model expectations of the lighter neutral Higgs signal strengths corresponding to production via gluon-gluon fusion and decay to either tau or pairs. The signal strength of the latter is greater than the standard model expectation, unlike most extensions of the standard model.
