Boosting Invisible Higgs Searches by Tagging a Gluon Jet for Gluon Fusion Process

Abstract

We propose a novel method in that quark-gluon tagging of the jets emitted as initial state radiation (ISR) can boost searches of invisible Higgs from gluon fusion processes against irreducible electroweak vector boson productions. While quark ISR typically takes up a dominant portion than gluon in the background processes mainly by frequent quark-gluon initiated hard scatterings at the LHC, gluon ISR portion in the gluon fusion can be significantly larger in the central region of detector. Focusing on invisible Higgs searches using jet substructure variables capturing the new features, we demonstrate that Higgs from gluon fusion constrains invisible Higgs decays the most, over vector boson fusion traditionally known as the most constraining, and the limit on the branching ratio is significantly improved. We summarize with emphasizing that our method has wider implications in search for new resonances from gluon fusion processes.
