Z polarization in $pp \to ZZ \to l^+ l^- \nu\overline{\nu}$ at the LHC

We evaluate the feasibility of measuring the Z polarization from a heavy Higgs signal in the decay channel H\rightarrow ZZ \rightarrow \ell^+ \ell^-\nu\bar{\nu}. Including gluon fusion production of the Higgs, continuum production of Z pairs and the QCD background of single Z production with a missi...

description We evaluate the feasibility of measuring the Z polarization from a heavy Higgs signal in the decay channel H\rightarrow ZZ \rightarrow \ell^+ \ell^-\nu\bar{\nu}. Including gluon fusion production of the Higgs, continuum production of Z pairs and the QCD background of single Z production with a missing jet, we find that the average value of a new variable to measure the Z polarization, as a function of transverse mass, will demonstrate the existence of a Higgs boson for heavy Higgs masses up to 800 GeV at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of 10^5 pb^{-1}.
