Top Pair + 2 Jets<br />
Important background for Higgs searches @ Tev<strong>at</strong>ron and @ LHC<br />
H WW ∗ produced via weak boson fusion<br />
For m H ~ 130 GeV, i.e. when BR(H WW ∗ ) is large enough<br />
Higgs boson mass peak cannot be directly reconstructed<br />
Background processes can not be measured from the side bands<br />
H bb produced via associ<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>production</strong> with a tt <strong>pair</strong><br />
Process useful only in the low mass range m H < 135 GeV<br />
Unique access to the <strong>top</strong> and bottom Yukawa couplings<br />
Reconstruction <strong>of</strong> the H bb mass peak difficult<br />
The bb <strong>pair</strong> can be chosen incorrectly<br />
b-tagging efficiency, two b-jets can arise from mistagged light jets<br />
Very precise knowledge <strong>of</strong> QCD backgrounds<br />
ttjj, ttbb, WWjj is necessary !<br />
