H->cc at CMS

The discovery of a Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV was an extraordinary event for the CMS experiment and for particle physics as a whole. But to check whether this Higgs is the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson or not depends on one of its fundamental properties i.e. it’s coupling to fermions. The sensitivity of Higgs decay to the fermionic final states (H->tau anti-tau, H->bottom anti-bottom) is still limited. Furthermore, the sensitivity to the coupling of the Higgs boson to fermions of the second generation is even smaller. Recently, significant developments have been made within the CMS Collaboration in the development of charm tagging. These improvements, together with the increased dataset available in LHC Run-2, will enhance significantly the sensitivity to the H->cc coupling. In this report I study the decay of Higgs to charm anti charm quark pair.
