چکیده

The sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment to low mass SM Higgs produced via Vector Boson Fusion mechanism with H → γγ is investigated. A cut based event selection has been chosen to optimize the expected signal significance with this decay mode. A signal significance of 2.2 σ may be achieved for MH = 130GeV with 30 fb of accumulated luminosity.

Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to W and Z production via vector-boson fusion

The production of W or Z bosons in association with two jets is an important background to the Higgs boson search in vector-boson fusion at the LHC. The purely electroweak component of this background is dominated by vector-boson fusion, which exhibits kinematical distributions very similar to the Higgs boson signal. We consider the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to W and Z boson product...

Prospects for the Search for a Standard Model Higgs Boson in ATLAS using Vector Boson Fusion

The potential for the discovery of a Standard Model Higgs boson in the mass range mH < 2mZ in the vector boson fusion mode has been studied for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The characteristic signatures of additional jets in the forward regions of the detector and of low jet activity in the central region allow for an efficient background rejection. Analyses for the H → WW (∗) and H → ττ de...

Gauge-Boson Pair Production at the LHC: Anomalous Couplings and Vector-Boson Scattering

We compare vector boson fusion and quark antiquark annihilation production of vector boson pairs at the LHC and include the effects of anomalous couplings. Results are given for confidence intervals for anomalous couplings at the LHC assuming that measurements will be in agreement with the standard model. We consider all couplings of the general triple vector boson vertex and their correlations...

Monte Carlo study of gg→H+jets contribution to Vector Boson Fusion Higgs production at the LHC

The contribution of gg → H + jets production process to the vector boson fusion production of the Higgs boson, V V → H , was evaluated with the ALPGEN generator and the PYTHIA shower Monte Carlo including a jet-parton matching procedure. After the experimental like event selections applied at PYTHIA particle level, the contribution was found to be 4-5 % for a Higgs boson mass of 120 GeV.
