Constraining the Charm-Yukawa coupling at the Large Hadron Collider

arXiv:2202.13937 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2022.137255

Abstract

We present theoretical results for the sensitivity of charm Yukawa coupling measurements in future high-luminosity LHC runs in three channels: Vector Boson Fusion (VBF), W Higgs-strahlung and Z Higgs-strahlung production of a Higgs boson and its subsequent decay into charm quarks. To reduce the overwhelmingly large backgrounds and to reduce false positives, we apply a set of simple kinematic and jet feature cuts and feed neural network data structures of three types; jet features, jet images and particle level features. To facilitate straightforward comparison with experimental studies, we express our results in terms of signal strengths.
