We compute the interference between the resonant process $ppto H(rightarrow gammagamma)+2 text{ jets}$ and the corresponding continuum background at leading order in QCD. For the Higgs signal, we include gluon fusion (GF) and vector boson fusion (VBF) production channels, while for the background we consider all tree-level contributions, including pure EW effects (${cal O}(alpha_{QED}^4)$) and QCD contributions (${cal O}(alpha_{QED}^2 alpha_{s}^2)$), plus the loop-induced gluon-initiated process. After convolution with the experimental mass resolution, the main effect of the interference is to shift the position of the mass peak, as in the inclusive GF case studied previously. The apparent mass shift is small in magnitude but strongly dependent on the Higgs width, potentially allowing for a measurement of, or bound on, the width itself. In the $H(rightarrow gammagamma)+2 text{ jets}$ channel, the VBF and GF contributions generate shifts of opposite signs which largely cancel, depending on the sets of cuts used, to as little as 5 MeV (toward a lower Higgs mass). The small magnitude of the shift makes this channel a good reference mass for measuring the inclusive mass shift of around 60 MeV in the Standard Model.
Signal-background interference effects are studied for H --> WW and H --> ZZ searches in gluon fusion at the LHC. More specifically, the interference in the channels with semileptonic weak boson pair decay is analysed for light and heavy Higgs masses
WW/ZZ interference for Higgs signal and continuum background as well as signal-background interference is studied for same-flavour l anti-nu_l anti-l nu_l final states produced in gluon-gluon scattering at the LHC for light and heavy Higgs masses wit
The significance of new physics appearing in the loop-induced decays of neutral Higgs bosons into pairs of dibosons $gammagamma$ and $Zgamma$ will be discussed in the framework of the 3-3-1 models based on a recent work~cite{Okada:2016whh}, where the
We study Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviton production in the large extra dimensions model via 2 jets plus missing transverse momentum signatures at the LHC. We make predictions for both the signal and the dominant Zjj and Wjj backgrounds, where we introduce
We calculate the spinor helicity amplitudes of anomalous $Hto ZZ to 4ell$ decay. After embedding these analytic formulas into the $texttt{MCFM}$ package, we study the interference effects between the anomalous $ggto Hto ZZ to 4ell$ process and the SM
