摘要
Searches for a heavy standard model Higgs boson focus on the "gold plated mode" where the Higgs decays to two leptonic Z bosons. This channel provides a clean signature, in spite of the small leptonic branching ratios. We show that using fat jets the semileptonic ZZ mode significantly increases the number of signal events with a similar statistical significance as the leptonic mode.
