Jets signal for Higgs particle detection at LHC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-09-06 v1

Abstract

A method using jets is investigated for detecting the Higgs boson at LHC in the mass range about 114 \GeVc2, suggested by LEP experiments. Higgs bosons are produced in association with a ttˉt \bar{t} pair, and both t and tˉ\bar{t} decay semileptonically to reduce the QCD background. After appropriate cuts, the signal is compared with the main background, ttˉ+2t \bar{t} + 2 jets. This estimate, using a reasonable approximation for the dominant background ttˉggt\bar {t}gg, suggests a 5.1σ5.1\sigma effect. This method is seen to be complimentary to the two gamma signal. The ttˉZt\bar{t}Z channel, with Z decaying to l+ll^+ l^-, may be used to reduce theoretical uncertainties in determining the ttˉHt \bar{t}H signal.
