HZ Recoil Mass and Cross Section Analysis in ILD    [PDF]

H. Li, R. Pöschl, F. Richard, for the ILD Concept group

This note describes the details of a simulation study of the Higgs boson
production for processes in which the Higgs is produced together with a well
measurable di-lepton system using the proposal of the ILD detector for its
Letter of Intent. The analysis is optimised for the measurement of the
Higgs-strahlung process, i.e. e+e- -> HZ. The cross section can be determined
with a precision of 2-3% and by combining the decay channels a precision of ~30
MeV is obtained for the mass of the Higgs boson. The background can be largely
reduced and the analysis exhibits a sensitivity to the configuration of the
accelerator.
