We study the Higgs boson $(h)$ decay to two light jets at the 14 TeV High-Luminosity-LHC (HL-LHC), where a light jet ($j$) represents any non-flavor tagged jet from the observational point of view.
The decay mode $h\to gg$ is chosen as the benchmark since it is the dominant channel in the Standard Model (SM), but the bound obtained is also applicable to the light quarks $(j=u,d,s)$.
We estimate the achievable bounds on the decay branching fractions through the associated production $Vh\ (V=W^\pm,Z)$.
Events of the Higgs boson decaying into heavy (tagged) or light (un-tagged) jets are correlatively analyzed.
