Abstract
We show that the broad transverse momentum distribution of the Higgs boson produced by WW fusion can provide a viable way to identify H --> b (b) over bar decays at the LHC, if particular kinematical configurations with large rapidity gaps are selected. We estimate the event rate of the signal and o f the QCD b (b) over bar background. We also discuss Higgs boson detection via the H --> pi pi and H --> WW* decay modes.
