Abstract
Abstract:
A search for the bb¯ decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson produced through vector-boson fusion
is presented. Three mutually exclusive channels are considered: two all-hadronic channels and a
photon-associated channel. Results are reported from the analysis of up
to 30.6 fb−1 of pp data at √s = 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC.
The measured signal strength relative to the Standard Model prediction from the combined analysis
is 2.5+1.4 for inclusive Higgs boson production and 3.0+1.7 for vector-boson fusion
