Description

Some supersymmetric extensions to the standard model such as the two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM) predict the decay of the Higgs boson to two pseudoscalar particles (H-->aa), each of which may decay into low-pT bottom quarks. We conduct a sensitivity study with simulated events for the H-->aa-->4b decay, in which the SM Higgs is produced by Vector Boson Fusion with an associated photon (VBF+photon).
