Observation of $H \to bb$ in ATLAS

The measurements of the Higgs boson decays to fermions allow to test the Yukawa couplings and to understand the mass generation of fermions. In the Standard Model, the $H$$\rightarrow$ $b$$\bar{b}$ decay is the dominating decay with a branching ratio of 58%, although its observation is experimentall...

description The measurements of the Higgs boson decays to fermions allow to test the Yukawa couplings and to understand the mass generation of fermions. In the Standard Model, the $H$$\rightarrow$ $b$$\bar{b}$ decay is the dominating decay with a branching ratio of 58%, although its observation is experimentally challenging at LHC because of the large multijet background. The search for the $H$$\rightarrow$ $b$$\bar{b}$ decay is therefore performed exploiting the associated production of a Higgs boson with a $W$ or a $Z$ boson ($V$ = $W/Z$), whose leptonic decays make the signature of these processes easier to identify. This paper describes the search for the $VH$($\rightarrow$ $b$$\bar{b}$) process using $pp$ collisions data taken by ATLAS at LHC at 13TeV and presents the first observation of the Higgs coupling to $b$-quarks. Differential cross section of the $VH$($\rightarrow$ $b$$\bar{b}$) production at 13TeV are also presented.
