Higgs Decays to Photons and Missing Energy

• David Morrissey ???

Room: 32-S-C22 / Ballam room (84-B188) Extending the Standard Model (SM) to include supersymmetry can lead to qualitatively new decay modes for an otherwise SM-like Higgs boson. In this talk I will discuss Higgs decays to diphotons and missing energy, a new channel that can arise in theories of low-scale gauge mediation. Along the way I will describe the existing constraints on this possibility from LEP and Tevatron data, and outline the discovery prospects of this decay mode at the Tevatron and the LHC. Besides being a reasonable channel with which to find the Higgs at the LHC, our results also highlight the importance of searching broadly in the data for new signals.
