Rescuing H -> bb in VBF at the LHC by requiring a central photon

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-10-16 v1

Abstract

The LHC potential for a measurement of the Higgs boson coupling to the b quark in the standard model is not well established yet. We show that requiring a large transverse momentum photon in the light Higgs boson production via vector-boson fusion (with subsequent H->bb decay) could provide a further handle on the Hbb coupling determination, and on the measurement of the HWW coupling as well.
