The decay rates are governed by the charm-quark Yukawa coupling, unlike the decay $H\\to J/\\psi + \\gamma$, which is dominated by the $\\gamma^*$-$J/\\psi$ mixing. We find that the decay branching fractions can be about $2 \\times 10^{-5}$ for $H\\to c{\\bar c}+J/\\psi$, and $6 \\times 10^{-5}$ for $H\\to c{\\bar c}+\\eta_c$. We comment on the perspective of searching for the Higgs boson to $J/\\psi$ transition at the High-Luminosity LHC for testing the charm-quark Yukawa coupling.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.08273v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.08273v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"higgs-boson-decay-to-charmonia-via-c-quark","repo_url":"https://github.com/YangPhy/para","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
