Study of Higgs Boson Production in Fermionic Decay Modes

The fermionic sector is a key element to determine the properties of the newly discovered Higgs boson. The status of the searches and measurements in the fermionic Higgs sector is reviewed by drawing on key measurements by ATLAS, CMS, D0 and CDF. Many interesting and challenging channels have already been studied to probe this sector. At present, direct measurements provide 3σ evidence of the Higgs coupling to fermions and indirect measurements, such as coupling fits, provide 5σ evidence. These results are briefly summarised and discussed.
