Abstract:
Higgs production in association with an electroweak vector boson is a distinctive channel for a Higgs boson without tree-level couplings to fermions, known as a fermiophobic Higgs. We demonstrate that existing LHC data at 7 TeV with 4.9 fb^-1 may distinguish fermiophobic Higgs from a standard model Higgs in the gamma-gamma-j-j final state at 1.9 sigma. At a 8 TeV LHC, we predict 2.8 sigma distinction is possible with 10 fb^-1 of data.
