چکیده
We report on the potential for the discovery of a Standard Model Higgs boson with the vector boson fusion mechanism in the mass range 115 < MH < 500GeV with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Feasibility studies at hadron level followed by a fast detector simulation have been performed for H → W (∗)W (∗) → ll/pT , H → γγ and H → ZZ → l+l−qq. The results obtained show a large discovery potential in the range 115 < MH < 300GeV. Results obtained with multivariate techniques are reported for a number of channels.

Prospects for Higgs Searches via Vbf at the Lhc with Atlas
We report on the potential for the discovery of a Standard Model Higgs boson with the vector boson fusion mechanism in the mass range 115 < MH < 500GeV/c 2 with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Feasibility studies at hadron level followed by a fast detector simulation have been performed for H → W W (∗) → ll/pT , H → γγ and H → ZZ → llqq. The preliminary results obtained here show a large disco...
متن کاملHiggs Physics Review of recent results and prospects from ATLAS and CMS
An overview of recent results in Higgs boson physics obtained with the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider located at CERN, Geneva, is presented. The focus is on measurements of the properties of the recently discovered Higgs boson with a mass of about 125 GeV. A brief selection of results in searches for Higgs bosons beyond the Standard Model is given, and prospects of futur...
متن کاملDiscovery Potential of the Standard Model Higgs Boson Through H → WW Decay Mode with the ATLAS Detector at LHC
We report results of a study of the Standard Model Higgs boson discovery potential through the W-pair leptonic decay modes with the ATLAS detector at LHC at 14 TeV center-of-mass energy. We used MC samples with full detector simulation and reconstruction of the ATLAS experiment to estimate the ATLAS detection sensitivity for the reaction of pp→ H →WW → eνμν with no hard jet or two hard jets in ...

Vector-boson fusion (VBF) processes have emerged as a particularly interesting class of scattering events from which one hopes to gain insight into the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking. The most prominent example is Higgs boson production via VBF, which is shown in Fig. 1. This process has been studied intensively as a tool for Higgs boson discovery [1–3] and the measurement of Higgs b...
متن کاملObservation of an Excess of Events in the Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
A preliminary combined search for the Standard Model Higgs boson with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. The pp collisions datasets used correspond to integrated luminosities of 4.6 fb−1 to 4.9 fb−1 at √ s = 7 TeV in 2011 and 5.8 fb−1 to 5.9 fb−1 at √ s = 8 TeV in 2012. Searches for H → γγ, H → ZZ(∗), H → WW (∗), H → bb̄, and H → τ+τ− have been performed on the 2011 data, while only the...
