Abstract
The possibility of precision measurements at hadron colliders has attracted
much interest over the last few years. Among other processes, diboson
production stands out as a way to probe EW and Higgs dynamics and indirectly
constrain New Physics. This kind of process is already studied at LHC,
despite being handicapped by the need for decay channels with high
uncertainties. The higher luminosity and centre-of-mass energy of the future
FCC-hh collider would allow us to probe these processes with rarer but
cleaner final states that are inaccessible at the LHC. The Wh and Zh
production processes constitute an excellent example of this, since they can
already be studied at LHC when the Higgs boson decays to bottom-anti-bottom
pairs, while FCC-hh would allow us to study them also when the Higgs decays
to photons.
I will first focus on the diphoton leptonic decay channels of the Wh and Zh
production processes and discuss our study of these channels at the FCC-hh
in the SMEFT framework. I will show how doubly differential distributions
can be used to gain even better sensitivity to certain higher-dimensional
EFT operators. I will also compare our projections with those for future
lepton colliders to emphasize their complementarity. Then, I'll show our
results using the bottom-pair decay channel of the Higgs boson at LHC,
HL-LHC and FCC-hh, discuss the limitations of this channel at HL-LHC, and
how both Higgs decay channels compare at FCC-hh.
