  We consider the hadronic radiation patterns for the generic process of bb + 2
forward jet production at the LHC, where the (centrally produced) bb originate
either from a Higgs, a Z or from standard QCD production processes. A numerical
technique for evaluating the radiation patterns for non-trivial final states is
introduced and shown to agree with the standard analytic results for more
simple processes. Significant differences between the radiation patterns for
the Higgs signal and the background processes are observed and quantified. This
suggests that hadronic radiation patterns could be used as an additional
diagnostic tool in Higgs searches in this channel at the LHC.
