Renormalization-Scale Invariance, Minimal Sensitivity, and the Inclusive Hadronic Decays of a 115 GeV Higgs Particle

Abstract

Known perturbative expressions for the decay rates of 115 GeV Higgs particle into either two gluons or a $b\bar{b}$ pair are shown to exhibit renormalization-scale-($\mu$)-dependence that is largely removed via renormalization-group/Pade-approximant estimates of these rates' next order contributions. The extrema in $\mu$ characterizing both rates, as determined from fully-known orders of perturbation theory, are very nearly equal to corresponding $\mu$-insensitive rates obtained via estimation of their next order contributions, consistent with "minimal-sensitivity" expectations.
