One-loop formulas for off-shell decay $H^* \rightarrow W^+W^-$ in 't Hooft-Veltman gauge and its applications

Abstract

We present analytic results for one-loop radiative corrections to off-shell decay $H^* \rightarrow W^+W^-$ in 't Hooft-Veltman gauge within Standard Model framework. In numerical results, we show off-shell decay rate and its corrections with varying off-shell Higgs mass. The results show that the corrections are of $10\%$ contributions to total decay rates. Furthermore, we study the impacts of one-loop radiative corrections to off-shell decay $H^* \rightarrow W^+W^-$ in Higgs processes at future colliders. The signal processes such as $e^-e^+\rightarrow ZH^*\rightarrow Z(WW)$ with including the initial beam polarizations and $e^-e^+\rightarrow \nu_e\bar{\nu}_e H^* \rightarrow \nu_e\bar{\nu}_e (WW)$ and $e^-\gamma \rightarrow e^-H^* \rightarrow e^-WW$ are examined. We find that the effects are visible impacts and these should be taken into account at future colliders.
