摘要
We calculate the corrections to the partial widths of the light Higgs boson in the Littlest Higgs model due to effects of the TeV-scale physics. We focus on the loop-induced Higgs coupling to photon pairs, which is especially sensitive to the effects of new particles running in the loop. This coupling can be probed with high precision at a photon collider in the process gammagamma-->H-->b b(b) over bar for a light Higgs boson with mass 115 GeVless than or equal toM(H)less than or similar to140 GeV. Using future LHC measurements of the parameters of the Littlest Higgs model, one can calculate a prediction for this process, which will serve as a test of the model and as a probe for a strongly coupled UV completion at the 10 TeV scale. We outline the prospects for measuring these parameters with sufficient precision to match the expected experimental uncertainty on gammagamma-->H-->b(b) over bar.
