TL;DR
This paper proposes a method to detect Higgs bosons decaying to bottom quarks at the LHC by using boosted top and Higgs jet tagging techniques, overcoming previous challenges in the complex QCD environment.
Contribution
It introduces new boosted top and Higgs jet taggers specifically designed for the LHC environment, enabling better identification of Higgs decays to bottom quarks.
Findings
Boosted jet tagging improves Higgs detection prospects.
New algorithms effectively distinguish Higgs and top jets in QCD background.
Enhanced analysis techniques increase the viability of the associated top-Higgs search channel.
Abstract
At the LHC associated top quark and Higgs boson production with a Higgs decay to bottom quarks has long been a heavily disputed search channel. Recently, it has been found to not be viable. We show how it can be observed by tagging massive Higgs and top jets. For this purpose we construct boosted top and Higgs taggers for Standard Model processes in a complex QCD environment.
