SUMMARY:The Matrix Element Method for Higgs Discovery and Spin Determi
 nation\, Theory Seminar (High Energy/Cosmology)\, Jamie Gainer\, Argon
 ne National Laboratory and Northwestern U.
DESCRIPTION:Multivariate Analyses (MVA) have become important tools fo
 r experimentalists in recent years.  A particular MVA\, the Matrix Ele
 ment Method (MEM) uses  full differential cross section information in
  determining the event by event likelihood.  We examine the extent to 
 which the use of the MEM allows one to increase the significance for H
 iggs discovery in various channels where the Higgs decays to gauge bos
 ons which in turn decay leptonically.  We additionally consider the us
 e of the MEM for spin discrimination in these channels.
