Sumario: | Until recently it was thought that for Higgs boson searches at the Large Hadron Collider, WH and ZH production where the Higgs boson decays to bbbar would be poor search channels due to large backgrounds. Recent phenomenological studies have indicated that at high transverse momenta, employing state-of-the-art jet reconstruction and decomposition techniques, these processes can be recovered as promising search channels for the Standard Model Higgs boson around 120 GeV in mass. We investigate this claim using a realistic simulation of the ATLAS detector. |
