Contribution
It provides a novel estimate of the Higgs width, introduces a method to evaluate its decay to dark matter, and presents a No-Go theorem for the gamma-gamma signal at the LHC.
Findings
Higgs width estimated as 6.1 +7.7-2.9 MeV
Method to estimate Higgs decay to dark matter proposed
No-Go theorem for gamma-gamma signal discussed
Abstract
By using the LHC and Tevatron measurements of the cross sections to various decay channels relative to the standard model Higgs boson, the total width of the putative 125 GeV Higgs boson is determined as 6.1 +7.7-2.9 MeV. We describe a way to estimate the branching fraction for Higgs decay to dark matter. We also discuss a No-Go theorem for the gammagamma signal of the Higgs boson at the LHC.
