We investigate the possibility to detect the scalar Higgs boson decay in the associated 
and 
production at the LHC using the 
-factorization QCD approach. Our consideration is based on the off-shell (i.e. depending on the transverse momenta of initial quarks and gluons) production amplitudes of 
, 
, and 
partonic subprocesses supplemented with the Catani–Ciafoloni–Fiorani–Marchesini (CCFM) dynamics of parton densities in a proton. We argue that the 
signal could be observed at large transverse momenta near the Higgs boson peak despite the overwhelming QCD background, and we point out the important role of angular correlations between the produced boson and 
-quarks.
