Searching for a Higgs boson decaying to WW* at CDF using multivariate techniques

The process gg → H → WW* → llvv is one of the most sensitive and challenging Higgs search channels at hadron colliders. This channel is also sensitive to a variety of new physics scenarios. This paper describes two searches using multivariate techniques to separate a potential Higgs signal from the much larger continuum q → WW production using 1.1 fb-1 of 1.96 TeV p collisions recorded with the CDF detector.
