Description
With the discovery of the Standard-Model-like Higgs boson in the
summer of 2012, experimental focus has shifted to the measurement of
its properties. Higgs boson production via a vector boson fusion
(VBF) process is a direct consequence of the Higgs mechanism of
electroweak symmetry breaking. This process is directly sensitive to
the coupling of the Higgs boson to the weak vector gauge bosons. The
contribution will summarize latest ATLAS results for the VBF Higgs
production in the H->WW decay mode. The analysis uses proton-proton
collision data corresponding to 4.6 fb-1 of data at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV
and 20.7 fb-1 of data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS
detector. This presentation will focus on analysis techniques and
statistical interpretation of the observed data.
