Higgs finder and mass estimater

Understand

We exploit the spin and kinematic correlations in the decay of a scalar boson into a pair of real or virtual W-bosons, with both W-bosons decaying leptonically, for Higgs boson discovery at 7 TeV LHC energy with 10 fb-1 luminosity.

• Without reconstruction of the events, we obtain estimators of the higgs mass from the peak and width of the signal distribution in (mll).
• The separation of signal and background with other distributions, such as the azimuthal angle between two W decay planes, the rapidity difference between the two leptons, missing ET and the pT of leptons, are also prescribed.
• Our approach identifies the salient higgs to dilepton signatures that allow subtraction of the continuum W*W* background.
