Higgs Boson Discovery Potential of LHC in the Channel
We discuss the SM Higgs discovery potential of LHC in the reaction when the jet is observed at sufficiently high to
be reliably identified. We conclude that this channel gives promising discovery
possibilities for the Higgs boson mass range 100-140 GeV, during LHC operation
at a low luminosity. With 30 fb of accumulated data and for
GeV about 100 signal events could be observed with the number of background
events larger by a factor of 2 only, showing a signal significance
. We use the difference of distributions in the partonic
subprocess energy for the signal and background for a better
separation of the signal.Comment: 15 pages including 6 figures, LaTeX, use epsfig.sty. To appear in
