== Discover the SM Higgs at the LHC ==

   * Find the best prediction for Higgs production at the LHC [http://maltoni.web.cern.ch/maltoni/TeV4LHC/index.html here].
   * Find the Higgs branching ratios [attachment:h-br.pdf here]. 

Choose a channel and investigate signal and background:

   1. The 4 lepton final state: $pp \to H\to Z Z \to e^+e^- \mu^+ \mu^-$
      * Signal 
         * Events:  [attachment:h4l-signal.lhe.gz Parton Level] [attachment:h4l-signal.lhco.gz Detector Level]
