Resolving the Higgs

At CDF, one of the main search strategies for the Higgs boson uses the WH production mode. ~ In this channel, the W boson decays into a lepton (either electron or muon) and neutrino while the Higgs boson (H) decays into a bottom quark and an anti-bottom quark pair.~ The charged leptons can be accurately detected and measured, while the neutrino and the quarks are measured relatively poorly.~ This analysis attempts to estimate the neutrino transverse energy, and then use this information to in turn correct the measurement of the quark energies.~ This method may allow a much more accurate determination of the Higgs boson mass in WH events.~ We present expected improvements in Higgs mass resolution.
