Search for a light Higgs boson in SUSY cascades

This note presents the potential of the CMS experiment to discover a light supersymmetric Higgs boson (h0) produced at the end of a cascade of supersymmetric particles starting with the strong production of squarks and gluinos. Because of this production mechanism, the events can be efficiently triggered using inclusive SUSY triggers such as jet+MET and the dominant h0 -> b bbar decay mode of the Higgs boson can be exploited. The Higgs mass can be extracted from the reconstructed di-b-jet effective mass distribution. The present investigation for the so-called LM5 test point has been done for 1, 3 and 10 fb-1.
