Robust LHC Higgs Search in Weak Boson Fusion
arXiv:hep-ph/0309042 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.69.075005
Abstract
We demonstrate that an LHC Higgs search in weak boson fusion production with subsequent decay to weak boson pairs is robust against extensions of the Standard Model or MSSM involving a large number of Higgs doublets. We also show that the transverse mass distribution provides unambiguous discrimination of a continuum Higgs signal from the Standard Model.
