Description

Extending the Standard Model with second Higgs doublet populate the scalar particle spectrum. Here we take an opportunity to search heavy scalar H resonance of mass around double of Higgs boson, mH = [250 - 270] GeV at future electron-proton (e-p) collider in charged current process. We consider the hadronic decay of H→W+W−→jjjj and use machine learning tools to reconstruct the mass of H. Further isolation of scattered jets from the e-p collision helps to provide better signal to background significance. Different observable are studied in this work to investigate the nature of H.
