TL;DR
This paper discusses how double parton scattering processes could significantly mimic Higgs boson signals involving bar{b} pairs at the LHC, impacting experimental detection strategies.
Contribution
It highlights the importance of double parton scattering as a background in Higgs boson searches involving b quarks at the LHC.
Findings
Double parton scattering can be a substantial background to Higgs production.
Recognition of b quarks is crucial for Higgs detection.
Background processes need careful consideration in experimental analyses.
Abstract
The experimental capability of recognizing the presence of b quarks in complex hadronic final states has addressed the attention towards final states with b\bar{b} pairs for observing the production of the Higgs boson at the LHC, in the intermediate Higgs mass range.We point out that double parton scattering processes are going to represent a sizeable background to the process.
