Abstract

The LHC potential for observing a light Higgs boson produced through Weak Boson Fusion mode, \rm qq→ \rm qqH, is presented. For non-hadronic decays modes of the Higgs boson the process is identified with a final state containing two energetic forward-backward jets, separated with a large rapidity and a hadronically quiet central region. The use of these properties, combined with special features of some of the decay modes enhances the potential of an early discovery of a light Higgs boson both in the Standard Model and beyond. The recent studies done in the context of CMS experiment are discussed.
