Prospects for γ γ to H and γ γ to W⁺W⁻ measurements at the FCC-ee
read the original abstract
We study the possibilities for the measurement of two-photon production of the Higgs boson (in the $b \bar{b}$ decay channel), and of $W^{+}W^{-}$ pairs (decaying into four jets) in $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at the the Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee). The processes are simulated with the PYTHIA and MADGRAPH 5 Monte Carlo codes, using the effective photon approximation for the $e^{+}e^{-}$ photon fluxes, at center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s} = $ 160 GeV and 240 GeV. The analyses include electron-positron tagging, realistic acceptance and reconstruction efficiencies for the final-state jets, and selection criteria to remove the backgrounds. Observation of both channels is achievable with the expected few ab$^{-1}$ integrated luminosities at FCC-ee.
