The search for $pp \rightarrow Vjj$ with a dijet resonance is motivated by a number of theories going beyond the Standard Model. The Higgs boson discovery by ATLAS and CMS imposes strong constraints on theories beyond the Standard Model. Minimal Walking Technicolor (MWT) proposes a dynamical approach to explain the electroweak symmetry breaking and is of interest as it includes a light...

A search for the Higgs boson in the associated production mode WH → WWW(∗) → lνlνqq (l = e, μ) performed combining the 20.3 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV collected in 2012 and the 4.7 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV collected in 2011 with the ATLAS detector. Assuming a Higgs mass of 125 GeV, a 95% CL limit of...

In the Standard Model of particle physics, there exist several modes by which a Higgs boson may be produced, and several modes by which it may decay. In order to accurately characterize it via measurement of its couplings to other particles, the statistically significant combinations of these production and decay modes must be studied. An analysis of one such combination is presented here,...
