Boosting Higgs discovery - the forgotten channel
arXiv:1008.2202 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.82.113012
Abstract
Searches for a heavy Standard Model Higgs boson focus on the 'gold plated mode' where the Higgs decays to two leptonic Z bosons. This channel provides a clean signature, in spite of the small leptonic branching ratios. We show that using fat jets the semi-leptonic ZZ mode significantly increases the number of signal events with a similar statistical significance as the leptonic mode.
