Abstract:
If the Higgs is composite, signs of this compositeness should appear via a formfactor-like suppression of Higgs scattering cross sections at momentum transfers above the compositeness scale. We explore this by computing the cross section for e+e- --> ZH in the 5D warped Minimal Composite Higgs model. We find that the cross section is strongly suppressed compared to the Standard Model at energies above the Kaluza-Klein scale due to progressive cancellations among the contributions of the Z-boson KK resonances exchanged in the s-channel.
