Description
Should an event excess compatible with the H->ZZ->4l decay
channel be observed at LHC, the statistical significance of the access
must be properly scaled down to account for the systematic errors and the
fact that the search is performed in a wide-open range of possible Higgs
boson masses. In this talk, we present results of studies addressing both
of the two contributions and show that the required corrections in
Higgs boson search in this particular channel are by far not negligible.
