What is the Feynman diagram for Higgs decay to Z and gamma particles?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the Feynman diagrams for Higgs boson decay channels, specifically H→gg and H→Zγ. The H→gg decay involves a Higgs boson decaying into two gluons through a top quark loop, which is a common process in particle physics. The H→Zγ decay requires a clear understanding of the interactions between the Higgs boson, Z boson, and a photon, which is less frequently illustrated in available resources. The user seeks clarification on the correct representation of these decay processes in Feynman diagrams.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Feynman diagrams and their components
  • Knowledge of Higgs boson decay processes
  • Familiarity with particle interactions involving gluons, Z bosons, and photons
  • Basic grasp of quantum field theory principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the Feynman diagram for Higgs decay to two gluons (H→gg)
  • Research the Feynman diagram for Higgs decay to Z and photon (H→Zγ)
  • Explore the role of top quark loops in particle decay processes
  • Review literature on Higgs boson interactions, particularly from arXiv articles
USEFUL FOR

Particle physicists, students of quantum field theory, and researchers interested in Higgs boson decay mechanisms will benefit from this discussion.

Hi, I am drawing Feynman diagrams for various Higgs decay channels. There are two diagrams I am stuck on and there aren't many examples online. They are H→gg and H→Z\gamma

For the H→gg decay I had a stab at drawing the reverse of the gluon fusion diagram. Higgs decaying to two gluons via a top quark loop process. I am not sure if this is right.

As for the H→Z\gamma could someone explain this decay so I can get an idea of how the feynman diagram should look? Thanks for any help.
