Abstract

Precise measurement of the Higgs boson properties are important issues for the International Linear Collider (ILC) project to understand the particles mass generation mechanism which strongly related to the coupling with the Higgs boson. Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments exclude the large area of the predicted Higgs mass region and their results indicate that Higgs boson mass will be light. Even if LHC discovers the Higgs like particle by the end of 2012, Higgs will be identified by the high precision measurement of the Higgs boson properties in ILC and also Higgs measurement verifies the correctness of standard model (SM) or gives some hints toward its beyond. In this study, we evaluate the measurement accuracies of Higgs branching fraction to the H->bb, cc and gg at the center-of-mass energy of 250 and 350 GeV.
