Kinematic Studies of a Beyond Standard Model Higgs Search in the di-lepton bbWW Channel

POSTER

Abstract

Abstract:

This project investigates the kinematic properties of a potential new Higgs boson predicted by Beyond Standard Model (BSM) Higgs sector extensions. Using simulated data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN, we study the final state consisting of 2 b-quarks, 2 charged leptons, and large missing transverse energy. The focus is on identifying variables that can effectively separate signal from dominant Standard Model backgrounds pair-produced top-quark processes. Kinematic variables including invariant masses, transverse momentum balances, and angular correlations are analyzed to inform future selection criteria and multivariate analyses.
