Description

In this talk I show that the $Z$ boson polarization has relevant information to distinguish the signal $pp\to ZH$, $H\to b\overline{b}$ from the dominant background $Zb\overline{b}$, which is part of the $\mathcal{O}({\alpha }_s^2)$ correction to the Drell-Yan $Z$ production, and can help us to finally observe the largest Higgs boson branching ratio.
