Finding Higgs bosons heavier than 2 m_W in dileptonic W-boson decays
Alan J. Barr, Ben Gripaios, Christopher G. Lester
We reconsider observables for discovering a heavy Higgs boson (with m_h > 2m_W) via its di-leptonic decays h -> WW -> l nu l nu. We show that observables generalizing the transvers…
A Storm in a "T" Cup
Alan J. Barr, Teng Jian Khoo, Partha Konar +4
We revisit the process of transversification and agglomeration of particle momenta that are often performed in analyses at hadron colliders, and show that many of the existing mass…
Re-weighing the evidence for a Higgs boson in dileptonic W-boson decays
Alan J. Barr, Ben Gripaios, Christopher G. Lester
We reconsider observables for discovering and measuring the mass of a Higgs boson via its di-leptonic decays: H --> WW* --> l nu l nu. We define an observable generalizing the tran…
Guide to transverse projections and mass-constraining variables
A. J. Barr, T. J. Khoo, P. Konar +4
This paper seeks to demonstrate that many of the existing mass-measurement variables proposed for hadron colliders (mT, mEff, mT2, missing pT, hT, rootsHatMin, etc.) are far more c…
Speedy Higgs boson discovery in decays to tau lepton pairs : h->tau,tau
Alan J. Barr, Sky T. French, James A. Frost +1
Discovery of the Higgs boson in any decay channel depends on the existence of event variables or cuts with sensitivity to the presence of the Higgs. We demonstrate the non-optimali…
