We present the potential for discovering the standard model Higgs boson produced via the vector-boson fusion mechanism. We considered the decay of Higgs bosons to the W(+)W(-)final state, with both W-bosons subsequently decaying leptonically. The main background is t (t) over bar produced in association with one or more jets. This study is based on a full simulation of the CMS detector. The result is that a signal of 5 sigma significance can be obtained with an integrated luminosity of 12-72 fb(-1) stop for Higgs boson masses in the range 130 < m(H)< 200 GeV. In addition, the major background can be measured directly to 7% from the data with an integrated luminosity of 30 fb(-1) stop. We also suggest a method to determine the Higgs mass using template transverse mass distributions.

Search for a standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top-quark pair and decaying to bottom quarks using a matrix element method Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-06-01) A search for a standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a top-quark pair and decaying to bottom quarks is presented. Events with hadronic jets and one or two oppositely charged leptons are selected from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb(-1) collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. In order to separate the signal from the larger t (t) over bar + jets background, this analysis uses a matrix element method t...
Search for invisible decays of Higgs bosons in the vector boson fusion and associated ZH production modes Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-08-01) A search for invisible decays of Higgs bosons is performed using the vector boson fusion and associated ZH production modes. In the ZH mode, the Z boson is required to decay to a pair of charged leptons or a bb quark pair. The searches use the 8TeV pp collision dataset collected by the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 19.7 fb(-1). Certain channels include data from 7TeV collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb(-1).The searches are sensitive to...
Search for associated production of a Higgs boson and a single top quark in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2019-05-01) A search is presented for the production of a Higgs boson in association with a single top quark, based on data collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The production cross section for this process is highly sensitive to the absolute values of the top quark Yukawa coupling, y(t); the Higgs boson coupling to vector bosons, g(HVV); and, uniquely, their relative sign. Analyses using multilepton signat...
Search for pair-produced vectorlike B quarks in proton-proton collisions at root s=8 TeV Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2016-06-01) A search for the production of a heavy B quark, having electric charge -1/3 and vector couplings to W, Z, and H bosons, is carried out using proton-proton collision data recorded at the CERN LHC by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb(-1). The B quark is assumed to be pair produced and to decay in one of three ways: to tW, bZ, or bH. The search is carried out in final states with one, two, and more than two charged leptons, as well as in fully hadronic final states. Each ...
Search for heavy resonances that decay into a vector boson and a Higgs boson in hadronic final states at root s=13TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-09-01) A search for heavy resonances with masses above 1 TeV, decaying to final states containing a vector boson and a Higgs boson, is presented. The search considers hadronic decays of the vector boson, and Higgs boson decays to b quarks. The decay products are highly boosted, and each collimated pair of quarks is reconstructed as a single, massive jet. The analysis is performed using a data sample collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV,...
