Speaker

Christina Reissel (ETH Zurich (CH))

Description

We present the measurement of Higgs boson production in association with a W/Z boson considering only events where the Higgs boson decays into a bottom quark-antiquark pair. The talk focuses on the analysis of 41.5/fb collision data taken by the CMS experiment in 2017 at a center of mass energy of 13 TeV. The talk aims at summarizing the analysis methods as well as presenting potential areas of improvement with regard to the full Run II result. Additionally, analysis results are put into context of the discovery of the Higgs boson decay into a bottom-antibottom pair.
