| Summary: | A search for Higgs bosons that decay into a bottom quark-antiquark pair and
are accompanied by at least one additional bottom quark is performed with the CMS
detector. The data analyzed were recorded in proton-proton collisions at a centre-ofmass
energy of √
s = 13 TeV at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of
35.7 fb−1
. The final state considered in this analysis is particularly sensitive to signatures
of a Higgs sector beyond the standard model, as predicted in the generic class of two Higgs
doublet models (2HDMs). No signal above the standard model background expectation
is observed. Stringent upper limits on the cross section times branching fraction are set
for Higgs bosons with masses up to 1300 GeV. The results are interpreted within several
MSSM and 2HDM scenarios. |
