Minijet veto: a tool for the heavy Higgs search at the LHC
نویسندگان
چکیده
The distinct color flow of the qq → qqH, H → WW process leads to suppressed radiation of soft gluons in the central region, a feature which is not shared by major background processes like tt̄ production or qq̄ → WW. For the leptonic decay of a heavy Higgs boson, H → WW → lνlν̄, it is shown that these backgrounds are typically accompanied by minijet emission in the 20–40 GeV range. A central minijet veto thus constitutes a powerful background rejection tool. It may be regarded as a rapidity gap trigger at the semihard parton level which should work even at high luminosities.

Minijet veto : a tool for the heavy Higgs search at the LHCV
The distinct color ow of the qq ! qqH; H !

For the leptonic decay of a heavy , it is shown that these backgrounds are typically accompanied by minijet emission in the 20{40 GeV range. A central minijet veto thus con...
متن کاملGluon Radiation Patterns in Hard Scattering Events∗
The radiation pattern of relatively soft gluons in hard scattering events is sensitive to the underlying color structure. As an example I consider heavy Higgs production via weak boson fusion at the LHC. A minijet veto, which makes use of the different patterns for signal and backgrounds, provides an effective Higgs
متن کاملMinijet activity in high ET jet events at the Tevatron
Gluon bremsstrahlung in scattering events with high transverse momentum jets is expected to increase markedly with the hardness ( ∑ ET ) of the primary event. Within perturbative QCD we estimate a probability of order unity to see additional minijets with ET > ∼ 15 GeV in “dijet” events with ∑ ET > 400 GeV. The veto of such minijets is a promising background rejection tool for the Higgs search ...

In this research we study the Mono-Z signature along with dark matter production at the LHC in a renormalizable dark matter model. We look at processes with L+L-+MET in the final state. We simulate signal and background events at central mass energy 14 TeV We then evaluate the LHC sensitivities for some points in the model parameter space for two integrated luminosities L=100 fb-1 and L=1 ab-1 ...
متن کاملDirect Higgs production and jet veto at hadron colliders ∗
We consider Higgs boson production through gluon–gluon fusion in hadron collisions, when a veto is applied on the transverse momenta of the accompanying hard jets. We compute the QCD corrections to this process at NLO and NNLO, and present numerical results at the Tevatron and the LHC. CERN–TH/2002-123 June 2002 Talk given by M. Grazzini at the XXXVIIth Rencontres de Moriond, QCD and Hadronic i...
