MSSM Higgs production in association with b quarks in the all hadronic final state at sqrt(s)=7 TeV
Abstract
A search for a neutral Higgs boson produced in association with at least one additional b quark and decaying into a pair of b quarks is performed in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.0

, recorded by the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at the LHC with a center-of-mass energy of 7
TeV. This search is particularly sensitive to Higgs bosons in MSSM scenarios with large values of

. Upper limits on the

cross section are derived, and interpreted in terms of bounds in the MSSM parameter space.
