T 71: Higgs 3 (coupling to b and c quarks)

T 71.7: Talk

Wednesday, March 6, 2024, 17:30–17:45, Geb. 30.41: HS 2

Analysis strategies for the search for the Higgs boson decay to a charm-anticharm pair at CMS — •Valentyn Vaulin¹, Alena Dodonova¹, Ming-Yan Lee¹, Spandan Mondal², Andrzej Novak¹, Andrey Pozdnyakov¹, and Alexander Schmidt¹ — ¹III. Physikalisches Institut A, RWTH Aachen University, Germany — ²Brown University, Providence, USA

During the recent years substantial progress has been made in constraining the Higgs boson coupling to charm quarks. In this talk the search for the Higgs boson decay into a charm-anticharm pair, where the Higgs boson is produced in association with the W or Z boson, will be presented. A general overview of the analysis strategies as well as the implementation of the columnar analysis framework with the intention to reproduce the Run 2 results of the VHcc analysis will be shown.
