Abstract

Weak boson fusion is a copious source of intermediate mass Higgs bosons at the LHC, with a rate σB(H→γγ) of up to 9 fb. The additional very energetic forward jets in these events provide for a unique signature. A parton level analysis of the dominant backgrounds demonstrates that this channel allows the observation of H→γγ in a low background environment, with modest luminosity.
