10:16:20 From Venus Keus : Thanks for the great talk, Michael! Excuse my ignorance, but could you please elaborate on what constrains the triplet vev? And how this constraint is removed in the Georgi-Machacek model? 10:22:45 From Venus Keus : yes 10:22:53 From Venus Keus : Thank you very much! 10:23:39 From Alexey Petrov : What are the perspectives of precision EW constraints on doubly charged Higgs? 10:24:31 From Larbi Rahili : when \mu is very large 10:26:21 From Benbrik : More details here https://arxiv.org/pdf/1105.1925.pdf 10:27:02 From Mohamed Chabab : Thanks to the speaker. 10:27:47 From Mohamed Chabab : Can you tell few words about charged higgs decay to W and photon? 10:30:56 From Venus Keus : Doesn’t the photon always couple diagonally? So, there is no W+H-\gamma. 11:04:37 From Mohsin Rasheed 987-FBAS/MSCPHY/F18 : Why photon does not interact with Higgs field? 11:05:59 From Michael Spira : The photon does interact with charged Higgs fields. But the off-shell photon couplings can only arise at higher orders. 11:06:51 From Michael Spira : off-shell -> off-diagonal, sorry 11:12:54 From Benbrik : This is due to custodial symmetry. The photon can couples to tow charged particles coming from the same sources 11:14:07 From Benbrik : For example you can find gamma W^+ W^ and gamma H^+ H^- but not gamma W^+ H^- 11:15:09 From Benbrik : …can*…. CANNOT 11:15:18 From Michael Spira : Yes, but at loop level this ca be different, since new tensor structures will start to contribute. 11:15:43 From Benbrik : I agree 11:51:26 From Arnaud Ferrari : H++: The triplet vacuum expectation value is taken to be vt = 0.1 GeV such that only the H±± → W±W± decays are relevant […] The corresponding cross-section calculation is performed for on-shell W bosons, and therefore only the region m H ±± > 200 GeV is considered in the present analysis. 11:52:49 From Abdesslam Arhrib : thanks 12:47:53 From Alexey Petrov : Can one invent some symmetry enforcing the alignment limit? Otherwise, can’t radiative corrections take you away from this limit? 12:51:56 From Howard Haber : For the alignment limit without decoupling, this is indeed an issue. One example where such a symmetry exists is the Inert Doublet Model.
