TL;DR
The paper investigates how the existence of a fourth Standard Model fermion family could enhance the Higgs boson's observability at the LHC, potentially allowing detection with relatively low integrated luminosity.
Contribution
It demonstrates that the presence of a fourth SM family significantly improves the Higgs discovery prospects at the LHC compared to previous assumptions.
Findings
Higgs could be observed with a few fb-1 if the fourth family exists
Enhanced Higgs production rates due to the fourth family
Different detection channels analyzed for improved observability
Abstract
It is shown that if the fourth SM fermion family exists then the Higgs boson could be observed at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of few fb-1. The Higgs discovery potential for different channels is discussed in the presence of the fourth SM family.
