SUMMARY:Observation of the Higgs boson decaying to bottom quarks at CMS
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Christopher Palmer\, Princeton University/FNAL \nHost
	ed by: James Rohlf\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//files/download/
	Palmer-Poster.pdf\n\nPart of the Collider Search Candidate Seminars.\n\nThe
	 Higgs boson decay to a bottom quark-antiquark pair has been sought for dec
	ades by the high energy community (i.e. at LEP and Tevatron). With the obse
	rvation of the Higgs boson at LHC during Run 1\, the search for this decay 
	channel became sharply focused.  As the bottom quark pair channel is the mo
	st probable decay of the Higgs boson (58%)\, its observation is both import
	ant in terms of quantifying the Higgs boson and it represents an important 
	milestone in high energy physics.  The results presented use datasets from 
	the LHC Run 1 and Run 2 (2016+2017) from CMS.  This Run 2\, 13 TeV dataset 
	corresponds to an integrated luminosity of ~80 fb^-1.  The analysis strateg
	y\, the background estimation techniques\, and significant analysis improve
	ments from the 2017 data analysis in CMS are shown.  An outlook on the upco
	ming analysis of the full Run 2 dataset (and beyond) will be discussed.
