8. Novel Background for BSM searches in VBS in the scalar channel

Sofie Martins (University of Graz)

BSM in the process $VV\rightarrow H^* \rightarrow VV$ can arise in two ways: As an effective extension of a composite Higgs at low energies or by a deviation hinting at a close-by resonance at high energies. It is thus necessary to control the standard model in these regions to high precision. We present novel standard model backgrounds, alongside lattice estimates for them, which arise from a...
