Search for a Higgs boson in the decay channel H to ZZ(*) to q qbar l-l+
in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV    [PDF]

CMS Collaboration

A search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying into two Z bosons with
subsequent decay into a final state containing two quark jets and two leptons,
H to ZZ(*) to q q-bar l-l+ is presented. Results are based on data
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 inverse femtobarns of
proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at
the LHC. In order to discriminate between signal and background events,
kinematic and topological quantities, including the angular spin correlations
of the decay products, are employed. Events are further classified according to
the probability of the jets to originate from quarks of light or heavy flavor
or from gluons. No evidence for the Higgs boson is found, and upper limits on
its production cross section are determined for a Higgs boson of mass between
130 and 600 GeV.
