ggH contamination in VBF phase space

The technique of the study

The gluon fusion Higgs production enters the VBF phase space because of perturbative effects of the Higgs + 0jets generation, and because of higher order diagrams. A calculation is being performed with MCFM for the contribution of Higgs + 2jets at NLO, after the selections listed here below.

selections applied

cut CMS ATLAS common
tag jets higest pT higest pT higest pT
