Double parton scattering background to Higgs boson production at the CERN LHC
Abstract
The Higgs boson production and decay via the bb¯W channel is one of the most promising discovery channels at the CERN LHC if the Higgs boson mass is below the W+W- threshold. We point out that double parton collisions represent a sizable source of background to the process.
