TL;DR
This study quantifies the contribution of the gg->H+jets process to Higgs production via vector boson fusion at the LHC, using Monte Carlo simulations and event selection criteria.
Contribution
It provides a detailed Monte Carlo analysis of gg->H+jets contribution to VBF Higgs production, including jet-parton matching and event selection effects.
Findings
gg->H+jets contributes 4-5% to VBF Higgs production at 120 GeV
The analysis uses ALPGEN and PYTHIA with jet-parton matching
Event selection reduces background, clarifying the contribution
Abstract
The contribution of gg->H+jets production process to the vector boson fusion production of the Higgs boson, VV->H, at LHC was evaluated with the ALPGEN generator and the PYTHIA shower Monte Carlo including a jet-parton matching procedure. After the experimental like event selections applied at PYTHIA particle level, the contribution was found to be 4-5 % for a Higgs boson mass of 120 GeV.
