Abstract

We examine a method of studying the $Z$ polarization in $H\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{ZZ}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{l}}^{+}{\mathcal{l}}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\nu}\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}$ in proton-proton collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Included are the dominant contributions: gluon fusion production of the Higgs boson, continuum production of $Z$ pairs, and the $Z$+missing jet QCD background. The polarization signal is distinguishable from the background for Higgs boson masses less than or equal to $\ensuremath{\sim}700$ GeV, for an integrated luminosity of ${10}^{5}$ pb${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$.
