Production of Higgs Boson in ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions with two-photon processes

Abstract

We calculated the production of the Higgs boson (H) by two-photon interaction with the equivalent photon approximation in nucleus-nucleus collision, proton-nucleus collision, and proton-proton collision. The numerical results show that the experimental study of the Higgs boson in ultra-peripheral collisions is feasible at the energies of the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) and the large hadron collider (LHC).
