Detecting an invisible Higgs boson at Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LHC

In this paper, we study the observability of an invisible Higgs boson at Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LHC through the production channel qq̄→ZH→ℓ+ℓ-+P/T, where/PT is reconstructed from the ℓ+ℓ- with ℓ=e or μ. A new strategy is proposed to eliminate the largest irreducible background, namely qq̄→Z(→ℓ+ℓ-)Z(→νν̄). This strategy utilizes the precise measurements of qq̄→Z(→ℓ+ℓ-)Z(→ℓ+ℓ-). For mH=120 GeV and with luminosity 30 fb-1 at Tevatron, a 5σ observation of the invisible Higgs boson is possible. For mH=114∼140 GeV with only 10 fb-1 luminosity at LHC, a discovery signal over 5σ can be achieved.
