Search for boosted Higgs decay to semi-leptonic WW in association with a hadronically decaying V boson
ORAL
Abstract
This talk will present the first search for associated production of a Higgs boson decaying to WW along with a V boson, i.e., a W or Z boson decaying hadronically. The search is performed using data collected with the CMS detector corresponding to 139 fb-1 of LHC proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV. We target semileptonic decays of the Higgs boson, where the hadronic and leptonic W decays are merged inside a wide-radius AK8 jet. Events are selected using machine-learning taggers to identify the Higgs boson jet and the V boson jet. A fiducial cross-section measurement will be presented.
