Hi all,

Has anyone know how to calculate the loop function of Higgs decay to photons/ gluons by t quark , or a useful reference.

Cheers,

Isn't it exactly the same as for the production?

Replace the gluons by photons.
 
Yes, I mean the loop function of the decay or production ..

Google this.
Higgs production through gluon fusion at leading order - Nikhef
That is one that I had looked at before. Alternatively you could always look at the code for production or decay in one of the generators if you get stuck.

Hope it helps
 
Thanks .. I will try this.

Bests,

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
