Production of Higgs with Z--boson by an electron in external fields

TL;DR

This paper calculates the rate of Higgs and Z-boson production by electrons in strong electromagnetic fields, showing that the cross section can surpass traditional collider methods at high energies.

Contribution

It provides a new theoretical analysis of Higgs production in external electromagnetic fields, extending understanding beyond conventional collider processes.

Findings

Cross section increases logarithmically at high energies.

Production rate can exceed that of electron-positron collider reactions.

External fields significantly influence Higgs production probabilities.

Abstract

The rate of associative production of Higgs and $Z$--bosons by charged leptons in the field of a plane electromagnetic wave of arbitrary intensity and in the constant crossed field is obtained. The cross section is examined as a function of particle energies and external field intensities for various values of the Higgs boson mass. It is shown, that the photoproduction cross section increases logarithmically at super high energies up to the values, that essentially exceed the cross section of the reaction $e^+e^-\to ZH,$ which, at present, is considered as the most probable channel of Higgs boson production.
