Spin/parity of Higgs-like particle at D0

Abstract

We present prospects for tests of different spin and parity hypotheses for a particle $H$ of mass 125 GeV produced in association with a vector boson and decaying into a pair of b-quarks. We use the combined analysis of the WH->lvbb, ZH->llbb, and ZH-> vvbb channels based on the full Run II dataset collected at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV with the \dzero\ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.
