Search for a Higgs Boson Decaying into Two Photons with the L3 Detector at LEP
A search is performed for a Higgs boson, decaying into two photons, using the L3 data collected at centre of mass energies between $\sqrt s$ = 189 and 202 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 400 pb$^{-1}$. The processes $e^{+}e^{-}\to {Zh} \to {q} \bar{q} \gamma \gamma $, $e^{+}e^{-}\t...

description | A search is performed for a Higgs boson, decaying into two photons, using the L3 data collected at centre of mass energies between $\sqrt s$ = 189 and 202 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 400 pb$^{-1}$. The processes $e^{+}e^{-}\to {Zh} \to {q} \bar{q} \gamma \gamma $, $e^{+}e^{-}\to {Zh} \to \nu \bar{\nu} \gamma \gamma $, $e^{+}e^{-}\to {Zh} \to {l}^{+} {l}^{-} \gamma \gamma $ are considered. The observed data are found to be consistent with the expected background from standard physics processes. Limits on the branching fraction of the Higgs boson decay into two photons as a function of the Higgs mass are shown and a lower mass limit on a fermiophobic Higgs is derived. |
