Abstract
The cross section for the associated production of the SM scalar boson with a W boson is several times larger compared to the associated production with a Z boson, but the background reduction is less strong because of a less clean signature.

Notes
- 1.
The lower sensitivity of the \(ee\tau _h\) final state compared to the \(\mu \mu \tau _h\) final state can be explained by the more efficient muon reconstruction and identification, and by the larger electron charge misidentification, which plays a role because the light leptons are required to carry the same electric charge to reduce the Drell–Yan background.
