Abstract

The Higgs boson production in the WH and ZH associated modes, collectively considered as VH associated production, provides important information on the Higgs boson couplings to gauge bosons. In particular, theWH associated production mode with the Higgs boson decaying into two W bosons, gives a direct measurement of the Higgs to W boson coupling constant. A Multivariate Analysis (MVA) based on Boosted Decision Trees (BDT) has been used to enhance the sensitivity and reject the main WZ/Wγ∗ and ZZ(∗)backgrounds in the data collected at 8TeV centre-of-mass energy with the ATLAS detector at LHC.
