High pT Higgs signal for the LHC
Abstract
We show that the broad transverse momentum distribution of the Higgs boson produced by WW fusion can provide a viable way to identify H --> b anti-b decays at the LHC, if particular kinematical configurations with large rapidity gaps are selected. We estimate the event rate of the signal and of the QCD b anti-b background. We also discuss Higgs boson detection via the H --> tau tau and H --> WW* decay modes.
