Nonperturbative Higgs propagator: NLO correction in the 1/N expansion

Abstract

We derive a nonperturbative result for the Higgs propagator by calculating the NLO correction in the 1/N expansion of O(N) sigma models. For dealing with the 1/N expansion beyond leading order, we develop techniques to calculate certain infinite sets of multiloop Feynman diagrams. We then calculate the Higgs lineshape in fermion scattering, as seen for instance at a muon collider. We compare with the existing two-loop perturbative results. There is a considerable discrepancy between perturbation theory and the 1/N expansion in LO. By including the NLO correction, this discrepancy is reduced dramatically. The results are in very good agreement with the two-loop result even for masses as high as 850 GeV. A maximum of the mass is reached at 930 GeV. For phenomenological purposes, we give a simple approximate relation between the Higgs mass and width.
