Associated Production of Non-Standard Higgs Bosons at the LHC
arXiv:1102.0704 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.83.115004
Abstract
We discuss the feasibility of seeing a Higgs boson which decays to four partons through a pair of (pseudo-)scalars at the LHC. We restrict our search to Higgs bosons produced in association with a W/Z boson at high transverse momentum. We argue that subjet analysis techniques are a good discriminant between such events and W/Z plus jets and top-antitop production. For light scalar masses (below 30 GeV), we find evidence that a flavor-independent search for such a non-standard Higgs boson is plausible with 100 fb^-1 of data, while a Higgs decaying to heavier scalars is only likely to be visible in models where scalar decays to b quarks dominate.
