Probing $W^\prime_L WH$ and $W^\prime_R W H$ Interaction at LHC

Abstract

Many new physics models predict the existence of TeV-scale charged gauge boson $W^\prime$ together with Higgs boson(s). We study the $W^\prime WH$ interaction and explore the angular distribution of charged lepton to distinguish $W_R^\prime WH$ from $W_L^\prime WH$ in $pp\to HW\to b \bar b l \nu$ process at the LHC. It is found that a new type forward-backward asymmetry($A_{FB}$) relating to the angle between the direction of the charged lepton in $W$ rest frame and that of the reconstructed $W^\prime$ in laboratory frame is useful to investigate the properties of $W^\prime W H$ interaction. We analyze the Standard Model backgrounds and develop a set of cuts to highlight the signal and suppress the backgrounds at LHC. We find that $A_{FB}$ can reach 0.03(-0.07) for $W_R^\prime$($W_L^\prime$) production at $\sqrt{S}=14$ TeV.
