Description
In this talk, I will motivate the study of the ZH process as a means of studying Higgs self-coupling: measurements of Higgs self-coupling are essential as they are directly related to the shape of the Higgs potential, which has implications on the stability of the universe. This project analyzed various jet recombination schemes of a simulated ZH process, and aims to determine the jet reconstruction algorithm parameters that best identify the Higgs signal. This talk will provide an overview of the unexplored decay channel of ZH→cc bb and prove its value as a process of interest.
