This paper presents a study of the reconstruction and identification of $$H\to WW^*$$ with high transverse momentum, where both $$W^{(*)}$$ bosons decay hadronically. We show that the boosted $$H\to WW^*$$ can be effectively reconstructed as a single jet and identified using jet substructures in the center-of-mass frame of the jet. Such a reconstruction and identification approach can discriminate the boosted $$H\to WW^*$$ in the full hadronic final state from QCD jets. This result will significantly improve experimental sensitivities of searches for potential new physics phenomena beyond the standard model in final states containing highly boosted Higgs bosons.
