We discuss the SM Higgs discovery potential of LHC in the reaction pp→ H+ jet→γγ+jet when the jet is observed at sufficiently high Et to be reliably identified. We conclude that this channel gives promising discovery possibilities for the Higgs boson mass range 100-140 GeV, during LHC operation at a low luminosity. With 30 fb-1 of accumulated data and for MH=120 GeV about 100 signal events could be observed with the number of background events larger by a factor of 2 only, showing a signal significance S/√(B)∼ 7. We use the difference of distributions in the partonic subprocess energy √( s) for the signal and background for a better separation of the signal.
