Hadronic decays of a light Higgs-like scalar

Understand

We revisit the question of hadronic decays of a GeV-mass Higgs-like scalar.

• A number of extensions of the Standard Model predict Higgs sector with additional light scalars.
• Currently operating and planned Intensity Frontier experiments will probe for the existence of such particles, while theoretical computations are plagued by uncer- tainties.
• The goal of this paper is to bring the results in a consolidated form that can be readily used by experimental groups.
