Search For The Standard Model Higgs Boson Produced Via Vector Boson Fusion And Decaying To Bottom Quarks With The Cms Detector At The Large Hadron Collider

Search for the Higgs Boson in the Vector Boson Fusion Channel at the ATLAS Detector

This Thesis describes the first measurement of, and constraints on, Higgs boson production in the vector boson fusion mode, where the Higgs decays to b quarks (the most common decay channel), at the LHC. The vector boson fusion mode, in which the Higgs is produced simultaneously with a pair of quark jets, provides an unparalleled opportunity to study the detailed properties of the Higgs, including the possibility of parity and CP violation, as well as its couplings and mass. It thus opens up this new field of study for precision investigation as the LHC increases in energy and intensity, leading the way to this new and exciting arena of precision Higgs research.

Novel ideas for accelerators, particle detection and data challenges at future colliders

Particle Physics At The Year Of Centenary Of Bruno Pontecorvo - Proceedings Of The Sixteenth Lomonosov Conference On Elementary Particle Physics

These proceedings are devoted to a wide variety of items, both in theory and experiment, of particle physics such as neutrino and astroparticle physics, tests of the standard model and beyond, and hadron physics. Also covered are gravitation and cosmology, and physics from present and future accelerators.
