Search for invisible decays of the Higgs boson produced in association with a hadronically decaying vector boson in pp collisions at s=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

et al.
Abstract

A search for Higgs boson decays to invisible particles is performed using 20.3 fb-1$${{\mathrm {fb}}^{-1}}$$ of pp collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The process considered is Higgs boson production in association with a vector boson (V=W$$V = W$$ or Z) that decays hadronically, resulting in events with two or more jets and large missing transverse momentum. No excess of candidates is observed in the data over the background expectation. The results are used to constrain VH production followed by H decaying to invisible particles for the Higgs boson mass range 115
