Abstract
We calculate the corrections to the partial widths of the light Higgs boson in the Littlest Higgs model due to effects of the TeV-scale physics. We focus on the loop-induced Higgs coupling to photon pairs, which is especially sensitive to the effects of new particles running in the loop. This coupling can be probed with high precision at a photon collider in the process γγHbb¯ for a light Higgs boson with mass 115GeVMH140GeV. Using future LHC measurements of the parameters of the Littlest Higgs model, one can calculate a prediction for this process, which will serve as a test of the model and as a probe for a strongly coupled UV completion at the 10 TeV scale. We outline the prospects for measuring these parameters with sufficient precision to match the expected experimental uncertainty on γγHbb¯.
