Description
Since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, measurement of the couplings of the Higgs boson to other Standard Model particles is a key task of the LHC and future collider experiments. For the fermions, so far only the couplings of the third generation to the Higgs boson have been measured. There is promising future prospect in measuring one of the couplings of the Higgs boson to the second generation fermions, namely the coupling between the Higgs boson and charm quark. This can be achieved by measuring the decay rate of the Higgs boson into a J/Psi particle and a photon. Theoretical prediction of this decay rate in the Standard Model is crucial for any potential discovery of new physics in the interactions between the Higgs boson and the charm quark. I will describe our work on calculating this decay rate to high accuracy, using an effective field theory of QCD called nonrelativistic QCD.
