Abstract
In this report, we present the latest ATLAS results on the measurement of the cross sections and couplings of the Higgs boson in the fermionic decay modes, H → μ+μ-, H → τ+τ- and H → bb. The searches are performed with proton-proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider during Run 1 and the first two years of Run 2 at √s = 7, 8 and 13 TeV.
Highlights
In 2012, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations observed a new particle with a mass of approximately 125 GeV [1, 2] in analysing the proton-proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) [3]
To study the Yukawa couplings between the Higgs boson and the fermions, and test the mass-coupling relation predicted by the Standard Model (SM), it is of particular importance to measure the direct coupling of the Higgs boson to fermions
The vector boson fusion (VBF) mode is used in the studies of all the three fermionic decay modes
Summary
In 2012, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations observed a new particle with a mass of approximately 125 GeV [1, 2] in analysing the proton-proton (pp) collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) [3]. Precise measurements of the coupling of the Higgs boson to other SM particles can provide further insight into the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking. Many of those measurements rely predominantly on studies of the bosonic decay modes, H → γγ, H → ZZ∗ and H → WW∗. The ggF mode has the largest cross section among all the production modes. The VBF production mode has the second-largest cross section. It is characterised by two forward VBF jets from light quarks, and a large rapidity gap with low hadronic activities due to no color connection between the Higgs boson and the VBF jets. The V H mode is used in the studying of the H → τ+τ− and H → bbdecay modes
