Signal-background interference in gg --> H --> VV

Abstract

The resonance-continuum interference between the SM Higgs search signal process gg --> H --> VV (V=W,Z) and the irreducible background process gg --> VV is studied at leading order for integrated cross sections and differential distributions in pp collisions at s=7 TeV and 14 TeV for MH=400 GeV. Leptonic weak boson decays are included, and realistic experimental selection cuts are applied.
