Measuring the Higgs-bottom coupling in weak boson fusion

Measuring the Higgs-bottom coupling in weak boson fusion

We study Higgs production through weak boson fusion with subsequent decay to bottom quarks. By combining jet substructure techniques and matrix element methods in different limits we motivate this channel as a probe of the bottom-Yukawa interactions in the boosted regime. In particular we ameliorate...
