Introduction TESLA scenario for ZH(120): 500 fb-1 at √s=350

GeV (the top threshold) Here we suggest that running at √s~MH+110 is more adequate since one has: - (HZ) twice larger if MH=120 GeV - the recoil mass resolution for Hµµ is 4 times better Also, while it seems much more useful to operate at √s=500 GeV for ttH, ZHH and new physics, this

energy seems inadequate for measuring Higgs mass and branching ratios

Running at 350 GeV TESLA TDR at 350 GeV:Mh=1.5 GeV in Hµµ Mh ~ p(2ECMp-Mz²) p=momentum of the muon At 230 GeV ~4 times better Similar gains are observed in the hadronic mode

Running at 230 GeV Fast rising of HZ

Objections: Undulator requires beam energy>150 GeV ? To be checked How does L vary with s ? Beamstrahlung

Beamstrahlung Formula where x=E/E0 at the beam level

There is a ‘hard-core’ with a0 ~0.5 at 500 GeV a0 increases at lower energy -> With a better momentum resolution there is always improvement

How does L vary with E? L can be maintained ~constant between 350 and

230 GeV provided is taken constant:

If N is constant (particles/bunch) Pelectrical goes like Ecm

constant means more focusing in x and/or shorter bunches

Seems possible, but is it optimum for recoil mass? The answer is yes optimizing on L(a0)²

Invisible decays Present in many BSM scenarios: SUSY, Higher

dimensions etc… Very large discovery potential for ILC Best sensitivity using recoil to Zhad Ejet=AEjet A=0.3 assumed (not yet realistic since

Emax=150 GeV at √s=350 GeV due to asymmetric decays)

F. Richard ILC Beijing Feb. 2007 9

LHC/ILC LHC covers a much more restricted

domain and cannot measure the mass if the Higgs decays invisibly

F. Richard ILC Beijing Feb. 2007 10

Conclusions If Mh=120 GeV, there are many good

reasons to run at ~230 GeV: Maximum cross section Best possible precision on Mh (the

‘needle’ plot), h and BRinv We should therefore see what are

the limitations on the Machine side Detector performances are essential

Ref below gives the details of this analysishttp://esgard.lal.in2p3.fr/Project/Activities/Current/Networking/N2/ELAN/Documents/2007/ Use of Chen/Yokoya parametrization

checked against Guinea Pig Use of an BS spectrum at 230 GeV with twice

more focusing in x and 1.5 shorter bunches Use an LDC momentum resolution and take

into account asymmetric decays Use a realistic ZZ background
