Description

Since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, Higgs physics has entered the precision era, with a key focus on measuring the Yukawa interactions between the Higgs boson and Standard Model fermions. The LHC serves as a crucial Higgs factory, and the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) is expected to provide even more precise measurements due to its increased luminosity. However, effective charm and bottom quark tagging remains a significant challenge. We propose to analyze quarkonia production through Standard Model Higgs decay within the non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD) framework, discussing the potential of these processes to measure the charm and bottom quark Yukawa couplings at the HL-LHC, thereby advancing our understanding of Higgs physics.
