Abstract
This note describes a study of Higgs boson production via WW fusion using the CMS detector at
LHC. Having the second largest production cross section, Weak Boson Fusion (WBF) is one of the
main channels were the Higgs particle can be found. Quarks from the incoming protons, after radiating
W£ , change the flavor and generate two energetic forward jets. The jets can be detected and tagged by
the CMS HF (Hadron Forward) and HE (Hadron Endcap) calorimeters and then used for background
reduction.
