Constraining Higgs Properties in Associated Production

Abstract

The Higgs boson H produced in association with a vector boson V=W, Z is the main production mechanism for searches at the Tevatron and forms an important part of Higgs analyses at the LHC. We show here that the V+H invariant mass distribution and the energy dependence of associated production provide powerful ways of constraining Higgs properties, such as its spin-parity and dimension-6 operator coefficients.
