Determining the Higgs spin and parity in the di-photon decay channel using gluon polarization

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-10-21 v1

Abstract

Gluons inside an unpolarized proton are in general linearly polarized. This polarization can, in principle, be used to determine the spin and parity of the newly found Higgs-like boson at the LHC. We focus here on the calculation of the degree of polarization.
