The model predicts new gauge bosons (AH, ZH, and WH), among which the heavy photon (AH) is a candidate for dark matter. The masses of these new gauge bosons strongly depend on the vacuum expectation value that breaks a global symmetry of the model. Through Monte Carlo simulations of the processes: e+ e- ->AH ZH and e+ e- -> WH+ WH-, we show how precisely the masses can be determined at the ILC for a representative parameter point of the model. We also discuss the determination of the Little Higgs parameters and its impact on the future measurement of the thermal abundance of the dark matter relics in our universe.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-03-25T03:17:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13.66.Jn", "12.60.-i" ], "keywords": [ "international linear collider", "little higgs parameters", "precision measurements", "vacuum expectation value", "monte carlo simulations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2009, "month": "Apr", "volume": 79, "number": 7, "pages": "075013" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 810585, "adsabs": "2009PhRvD..79g5013A" } } }
