Title: "Search for a Standard Model Higgs Boson in CMS via Vector Boson Fusion in the H->WW->l\nul\nu Channel"

Abstract:

A study of the potential to discover the Standard Model Higgs boson in CMS in the vector-boson fusion channel will be presented. The decay of Higgs bosons into the W+W- final state is considered, with both W-bosons decaying leptonically. The main background is ttbar with one or more jets produced. The study is based on a full simulation of the CMS detector. In addition to the discovery potential, the method to measure the background and the Higgs boson mass directly from the data will be presented.
