摘要

Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Particles & Fields Science & Technology
A study of the Higgs boson decaying into bottom quarks (H -> b (b) over bar) and charm quarks (H -> c (c) over bar) is performed, in the associated production channel of the Higgs boson with a W or Z boson, using 140 fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data at root s = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector. The individual production of WH and ZH with H -> b (b) over bar is established with observed (expected) significances of 5.3 (5.5) and 4.9 (5.6) standard deviations, respectively. Differential cross-section measurements of the gauge boson transverse momentum within the simplified template cross-section framework are performed in a total of 13 kinematical fiducial regions. The search for the H -> c (c) over bar decay yields an observed (expected) upper limit at 95% confidence level of 11.5 (10.6) times the Standard Model prediction. The results are also used to set constraints on the charm coupling modifier, resulting in vertical bar kappa(c)vertical bar < 4.2 at 95% confidence level. Combining the H -> b<(b)over bar> and H -> c (c) over bar measurements constrains the absolute value of the ratio of Higgs-charm and Higgs-bottom coupling modifiers (vertical bar kappa(c)/kappa(b)vertical bar) to be less than 3.6 at 95% confidence level.
