Search for a heavy neutral Higgs boson in a left-right model with an inverse seesaw mechanism at the LHC

Abstract

We develop a low scale left-right symmetric model based on $SU(3{)}_C\times SU(2{)}_L\times SU(2{)}_R\times U(1{)}_{B-L}\times Z_2$ with a simplified Higgs sector consisting of only one bidoublet and one $SU(2{)}_R$ doublet. In this model, the tiny values of light neutrino masses are generated through an inverse-seesaw mechanism. We emphasize that in this setup, the tree-level flavor changing neutral current can be strongly suppressed, consistent with the current experimental constraints. We show that the lightest $CP$-even Higgs boson, which is like the standard model Higgs boson, and the next lightest Higgs boson, $h^{\prime }$, are generated from the neutral components of the bidoublet. We show that the mass of the next lightest Higgs boson can be of an order a few hundred~\text{GeVs}. We analyze the detection of $h^{\prime }$ at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=14\text{TeV}$ and integrated luminosity $L_{\text{int}}=300{\text{fb}}^{-1}$ via di-Higgs channel: $h^{\prime }\to hh\to b\bar{b}\gamma \gamma$ and also in the $ZZ$ channel: $h^{\prime }\to ZZ\to 4\ell (\ell =e,\mu )$ at an integrated luminosity $L_{\text{int}}=3000{\text{fb}}^{-1}$. We consider three benchmark points for this analysis with $m_{h^{\prime }}=250\text{GeV},400\text{GeV}$, and $600\text{GeV}$. We show that promising signals with good statistical significances can be obtained in di-Higgs channel, with $2\gamma +2b$-jets final states.
