ISR effects for resonant Higgs production at future lepton colliders

Understand

We study the effects of the initial state radiation on the $s$-channel Higgs boson resonant production at $\mu^+\mu^-$ and $e^+e^-$ colliders by convoluting with the beam energy spread profile of the collider and the Breit-Wigner resonance profile of the signal.

• We assess their impact on both the Higgs signal and SM backgrounds for the leading decay channels $h\rightarrow b\bar b,\ WW^*$.
• Our study improves the existing analyses of the proposed future resonant Higgs factories and provides further guidance for the accelerator designs with respect to the physical goals.
