One loop effective nonlinear Lagrangian with a light H-boson

Abstract

We study one loop structure of the scalar sector of non-linear electroweak chiral Lagrangian (EWChL) with a light (composite) H-boson up to four derivatives. First, we introduce relevant Lagrangian terms in general parametrization of would-be Goldstone modes, taking into account potential and finite mass of the scalar. Then we compute 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-point functions and perform complete off-shell renormalization of the processes considered. On the way we found new divergencies involving also the H-boson which cannot be absorbed by the parameters of chiral invariant Lagrangian. We have demonstrated explicitly how these divergencies can be removed by field redefinition, and therefore proved that they are non-physical and give no contribution to the on-shell amplitudes. As a physical result renormalization group equations are derived to be used for future H-boson data analyses.
