Description
We present the potential for discovering the Standard Model Higgs boson produced by the vector-boson fusion mechanism. We considered the decay of Higgs bosons into the W{sup +}W{sup -} final state, with both W-bosons subsequently decaying leptonically. The main background is t{bar t} with one or more jets produced. This study is based on a full simulation of the CMS detector, and up-to-date reconstruction codes. The result is that a signal of 5{sigma} significance can be obtained with an integrated luminosity of 12 - 72 fb{sup -1} for Higgs boson masses between 130 < m{sub H} < 200 GeV . In addition, the major background can be measured directly to 7% from the data with an integrated luminosity of 30 fb{sup -1}. In this study, we suggested a method to obtain information in Higgs mass using the transverse mass distributions.
