We discuss the feasibility of seeing a Higgs boson which decays to four
bottom quarks through a pair of (pseudo-)scalars at the LHCb experiment to
argue that the use of b-physics triggers and off-line vertex reconstruction, as
opposed to jet triggers with b tagging, may be more effective for this signal.
Focusing on inclusive production for the Higgs, we find that for light scalar
masses below 20 GeV, signal reconstruction efficiencies of order a few percent
may be enough for LHCb to find evidence for a Higgs with a dominant 4b decay
channel.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
