Abstract: (Elsevier)
The rate for the decay of a Z-boson into a Higgs boson and monochromatic photon is computed to leading order in the standard SU(2) × U(1) gauge theory. The coupling has contributions from fermion and W-boson loops. The W-boson loop dominates unless the number of heavy fermion generations exceeds six. The branching ratio computed from the W-boson loop contribution, B (Z→H γ ), is approximately 2 × 10 −6 (1−( M H 2 M Z 2 )) 3 .
