Search for Higgs Bosons Produced in Association with b-Quarks in pp collisions — Wolfgang Lohmann1,2, Rainer Mankel1, •Igor Marfin1,2, Alexei Raspereza1, Alexander Spiridonov1, and Roberval Walsh1 — 1DESY, Hamburg, Germany — 2Brandenburgische Technische Universitaet, Cottbus, Germany
We present a search of neutral Higgs bosons produced in association with b-quark(s) and decaying into b-quark pairs at the LHC with the CMS detector. Despite being suppressed in the Standard Model, the production rate of this process is enhanced in supersymmetric models for high values of tan β. The signal of a higgs boson would arise as an excess in the mass spectrum of the two jets with the highest transverse momentum. Multi-jet QCD events constitute the dominant background that is derived from data. In this presentation the performance of the dedicated trigger is described and first results from the analysis are shown.
