Prospects for Higgs Boson Searches in the Channel W ± H 0 → l ± νbb̄

We present a method how to detect the WH → lνbb̄ in the high luminosity LHC environment with the CMS detector. This study is performed with fast detector response simulation including high luminosity event pile up. The main aspects of reconstruction are pile up jet rejection, identification of b-jets and improvement of Higgs mass resolution. The detection potential in the SM for mH0 ≤ 130 GeV/c and in the MSSM is only encouraging for high integrated luminosity. Nevertheless it is possible to extract important Higgs parameters which are useful to elucidate the nature of the Higgs sector. In combination with other channels, this channel provides valuable information on Higgs boson couplings. a) Now at Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of New Mexico, USA
