Detailed Description

Helicity matrix element for the decay of a Higgs -> two fermions.

Because the Higgs is spin zero the Higgs production mechanism is not needed for calculating helicity density matrices. However, the CP mixing is needed.

Helicity matrix element for the decay of a Higgs to two fermions.

All SM and MSSM Higgses couple to fermions with a vertex factor of (pfCV - pfCA * gamma[5]) where pf indicates the type of fermion line. For simplicity for the SM and MSSM CP even Higgses pfCV is set to one, and pfCA to zero, as this matrix element is used only for calculating helicity density matrices. p2CA: in the SM/MSSM this coupling is zero for CP-even and for CP-odd: -g_w * m_f / (2 * m_W)

• cot(beta) for A^0 u-type
• tan(beta) for A^0 d-type p2CA: for the charged Higgs in the MSSM this coupling is given by: +/- i * g / (sqrt(8.) * m_W) * (m_d * tan(beta) - m_u * cot(beta)) p2CV: in the SM/MSSM this coupling is zero for CP-odd and for CP-even: i * g_w * m_f / (2 * m_W)
  • -1 for the SM H
  • -sin(alpha) / sin(beta) for H^0 u-type
  • -cos(alpha) / cos(beta) for H^0 d-type
  • -cos(alpha) / sin(beta) for h^0 u-type
  • sin(alpha) / cos(beta) for h^0 d-type p2CV: for the charged Higgs in the MSSM this coupling is given by: i * g / (sqrt(8.) * m_W) * (m_d * tan(beta) + m_u * cot(beta)) Initialize the constant for the helicity matrix element.
