Abstract:
The sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment to low mass SM Higgs produced via Vector Boson Fusion mechanism with HγγH\to \gamma\gamma is invest igated. A cut based event selection has been chosen to optimize the expected signal significance with this decay mode. A signal significance of 2. 2σ \sigma may be achieved for M_H=130 \gev with 30 fb1^{-1} of accumulated luminosity.
