A Fortran program for the calculation of the decay widths and branching ratios of the Higgs bosons in the real and the complex singlet extensions of the Standard Model, both in the broken and the dark matter phase of the models.



Description:

The Fortran program sHDECAY calculates the decays of the Higgs bosons in the real and the complex singlet extensions of the Standard Model, both in the broken and the dark matter phase. It includes the most important higher-order QCD effects and consistently neglects all EW corrections. They are not available for the singlet case and contrary to the QCD corrections, cannot be taken over from the SM case.

A detailed description of each model can be found in R. Costa, M. Mühlleitner, M. Sampaio, R. Santos, JHEP 06 (2016) 034, arXiv 1506.05355 .


Files:

sHDECAY consists of the main program file shdecay.f. Further linked routines are dmb.f, elw.f, feynhiggs.f, haber.f, hgaga.f, hgg.f, hsqsq.f, susylha.f. The input file is named shdecay.in. It is the original hdecay.in input file supplemented by additional input values for the choice of the singlet model and the setting of the various related mass values and parameters. The meaning of these input values is explained in the header of the file shdecay.f. The output files which are generated are br.rbxy (real broken phase), br.rdxy (real dark phase), br.cbxy (complex broken phase) and br.cdxy (complex dark phase). Depending on the model, x=1 or runs from 1 to 2 or from 1 to 3. The files with y=1 include the fermionic decays, with y=2 the bosonic decays and the total width and with y=3 the Higgs-to-Higgs decays.

Note that the Standard Model decay widths and branching ratios are obtained by setting COUPVAR=0 and ISINGLET=0 in the input file. Be aware that, unless OMIT ELW is set to 1, they do not correspond to the singlet case results, even if in the singlet case the couplings are taken to be the ones of the SM. The reason is that the EW corrections are consistently turned off in the singlet case.
