Search for Higgs Bosons decaying to dilepton plus dijet final states via $H\rightarrow ZZ\rightarrow\ell\ell jj$ at D0

ORAL

Abstract

A search for the standard model Higgs boson was performed where the Higgs decays via H$\rightarrow ZZ \rightarrow \ell\ell jj$ with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider with 4.2~fb$^{-1}$ of data. Events are selected with at least two reconstructed jets and a Z candidate reconstructed from the two leptons. A boosted decision tree was trained to distinguish between signal and background events. This channel becomes significantly important for a Higgs with a mass higher than 180~GeV.
