摘要

<p>A search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson H into new scalar or pseudoscalar particles that subsequently decay into b-quarks is presented. The search considers ZH production with several decay scenarios for the Higgs boson; first to a pair of identical scalars, H -> 2a -> 4b, second to a pair of scalars with different masses (m(a1) < m(a2)), either directly, H -> a(1)a(2) -> 4b, or via a longer decay chain, H -> a(1)a(2) -> 3(a1) -> 6b. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data at root s = 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb(-1). No significant excess above the Standard Model prediction is observed. The search sets upper limits at 95% confidence level on the ratio of the Higgs boson production cross section to the SM prediction times the branching ratio of Higgs bosons decaying into 4b or 6b, between 4% and 25% for sigma(ZH)/sigma(SM) (ZH) x B(H -> 2a -> 4b), between 24% and 38% for sigma(ZH) / sigma(SM) (ZH) x B(H -> a(1) a(2) -> 4b), and between 10% and 20% for sigma(ZH)/sigma(SM)(ZH) x B(H -> a(1)a(2) -> 3(a1) -> 6b), depending on the masses of the scalar particles.</p>
