Standard Model Higgs Discovery Potential of CMS in $H \to WW \to l\nu l\nu$ Channel

The discovery potential of the CMS detector for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the H->WW->lnulnu channel is assessed using a full detector simulation. Sources of systematic uncertainties as well as methods to determine backgrounds from data are discussed. If the Standard Model Higgs boson h...

Sumario:The discovery potential of the CMS detector for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the H->WW->lnulnu channel is assessed using a full detector simulation. Sources of systematic uncertainties as well as methods to determine backgrounds from data are discussed. If the Standard Model Higgs boson has a mass between 150GeV and 180GeV, it should be observed with a significance of more than 5 sigma with a luminosity of about 10fb-1.
