Description

The characterization of the new boson, discovered in the search for the SM Higgs boson, is currently a priority in high-energy physics. Determination of the J^P quantum numbers of the boson are vital to this end. In the ATLAS collaboration, analyses to discriminate between the J^P = 0+ vs 1+, 1- and 2+ states have been performed in the H->WW->lvlv channel using 21 fb-1 of data at a CM energy of 8 TeV. In this talk, I describe the analyses and present results.
