Boosted Higgs Channels

Abstract

In gluon fusion both a modified top Yukawa and new colored particles can alter the cross section. However in a large set of composite Higgs models and in realistic areas of the MSSM parameter space, these two effects can conspire and hide new physics in a Standard Model-like inclusive cross section. We first show that it is possible to break this degeneracy in the couplings by demanding a boosted Higgs recoiling against a high-pTp_T jet. Subsequently we propose an analysis based on this idea in the H2+E ⁣ ⁣/TH\to2\ell+E\!\!/_T channels. This measurement allows an alternative determination of the important top Yukawa besides the ttˉHt\bar t H channel.
