LHC Searches for The Heavy Higgs Boson via Two B Jets plus Diphoton

Understand

Extra scalar fields are common in beyond Standard Model (SM) new physics, and they may mix with the 125 GeV SM-like Higgs boson discovered at the LHC.

• This fact suggests possible discovery channels for these new scalar fields with their decay modes involving the 125 GeV Higgs boson.
• In this work, we explore the LHC search potential of the heavy CP-even Higgs boson H in the two-Higgs-doublet model.
• We focus on the channel of H decaying to a pair of light CP-even Higgs bosons h, with two h's decaying to two b jets and diphoton sequentially.
