Search for the Higgs in the ZZ to llvv decay mode

With the data sample of 2011 provided by the LHC, the hunt for the higgs boson is in full swing. The decay in the ZZ channel, where one Z decays to charged leptons and the other to neutrinos has reasonable exclusion potential in the high mass region of the range of possible Higgs masses. We describe the salient details of the CMS analysis, including the current exclusion limit and the potential for improvement in the next year.
