Display of a event observed in the CMS detector in which a Higgs boson decays to bottom quarks

This image depicts a collision event which exhibits the signature of a Higgs boson produced in association with a Z boson. The Higgs decays into a bottom and an anti-bottom quark, each depicted by the two cones which represent jets of particles from the bottom quark decays. The Z boson decays into an electron and positron, each depicted by the green lines and the large green towers representing the energy deposits in the electromagnetic calorimeter. The event could also be due to known Standard Model background processes.
