Vector-Like Fermions at FCC-ee: NLO Higgs-Strahlung Signatures and Constraints

We compute the one-loop effects of vector-like fermions (VLFs) on the Higgs-strahlung cross-section, the flagship precision observable of future $e^+e^-$ Higgs factories such as FCC-ee. We consider four benchmark extensions of the Standard Model (SM): two in which a VL quark (VLQ) or VL lepton (VLL) doublet, together w...
