Precision calculations for the Higgs decays H-->ZZ/WW-->4leptons

Abstract

Extending earlier work, we provide predictions obtained with the Monte Carlo generator PROPHECY4f for the decays H-->ZZ/WW-->4l including the complete electroweak O(alpha) corrections and some higher-order improvements. The gauge-boson resonances are described in the complex-mass scheme. Here, particular attention is paid to a comparison of different final states with identical charges, such as e+e-mu+mu- and mu+mu-mu+mu-.
