Higgs boson production via vector boson fusion

• Terrance Maynard Figy (Manchester Univ.)

Room: Aula Bruno Touschek I will discuss the phenomenology of Higgs boson production via vector boson fusion (VBF), as well as the impact of anomalous couplings and next-to-leading order corrections on the production cross section and kinematic distributions. I will also discuss the calculation of the radiative corrections for electroweak Higgs boson plus three-jet production (VBF plus a jet) and its relevancy in the computation of the central jet veto efficiency.

Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson at CMS

• Francesco Fabozzi (NA)

Room: Aula Bruno Touschek I will present the status of the Standard Model Higgs boson search at the CMS experiment at the LHC. The results are based on proton-proton collisions data corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 5.1/fb at the centre-of-mass energy of TeV and 12.2/fb at 8 TeV. The observation of a new boson at a mass near 125 GeV has been confirmed by the analysis of the new data and first measurements of the boson properties have been delivered.

Status of the Standard Model Higgs boson searches with the ATLAS detector

• Andrea Gabrielli (ROMA1)

Room: Aula Bruno Touschek I will present the results, based on proton-proton collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV in 2011 and 8 TeV in 2012, for the observation of a new Higgs-like particle at 125 GeV. I will also discuss the first measurements of its properties, such as its mass, couplings, spin and CP values.
