Muon colliders and the non-perturbative dynamics of the Higgs boson

Abstract

A muon collider operating in the TeV energy range can be an ideal s-channel Higgs boson factory. This is especially true for a heavy Higgs boson. The non-perturbative dynamical aspects of such a Higgs boson were recently investigated with large N expansion methods at next to leading order, and reveal the existence of a mass saturation effect. Even at strong coupling, the Higgs resonance remains always below 1 TeV. However, if the coupling is strong enough, the resonance becomes impossible to be detected.
