Belyaev, Alexander, Guedes, Renato, Moretti, Stefano and Santos, Rui (2010) BSM Higgs searches in the gluon fusion process pp -> h +jet -> τ+τ- + jet at the LHC. Proceedings of Science, DIS2010 (207).
Abstract
The mass of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson was constrained by the Large Electron-Positron (LEP) collider to be above 114.4 GeV. Simple extensions of the scalar sector like adding singlets and/or doublets allow the lightest Higgs to be much lighter via a reduction in its coupling to gauge bosons. Such a light Higgs could have evaded the LEP searches but could be detected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the process pp -> h j -> τ+ τ- j, where j is a resolved jet. We conclude that in some Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) extensions of the scalar sector, a very light Higgs state could be detected at the 14 TeV LHC with early data.
