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 $fb^{-1}$, 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 $tan\beta$. Upper limits on the $ pp \rightarrow bH + X, H \rightarrow b\bar{b} $ cross section are derived, and interpreted in terms of bounds in the MSSM parameter space.
