Cornering a hyper Higgs boson: Angular kinematics for boosted Higgs bosons with top pairs

In the wake of the Higgs discovery and over the long haul of the LHC run, one should keep a lookout for kinematic anomalies in the most massive known trio of coupled particles, tt̄h. After surveying the scope of prior constraints on chromomagnetic dipole and Higgs-gluon kinetic couplings, we focus on surpluses of boosted-pT Higgs bosons fomented by these momentum-dependent dimension-six operators in tt̄h final states. We uncover a number of simple, pT-weighted angular variables useful for discriminating Standard Model from dimension-six boosted Higgs distributions, and we make headway by arguing that one of these variables may improve the reach of existing Standard Model top-Higgs searches. The approach we take is model independent because we just consider a set of effective operators that contribute to the same three-body final state.
