Implementation of the CMS-HIG-18-011 analysis in the MADANALYSIS 5 framework (exotic Higgs decays via two pseudoscalars with two muons and two b-jets; 35.9 fb(-1))

摘要

We present the implementation in the MADANALYSIS 5 framework of the CMS-HIG-18-011 search for exotic decays of the Standard Model Higgs boson, in which the Higgs boson is assumed to decay into a pair of light pseudoscalar a(1), that then further decay into a di-muon and di-b-jet final state. This analysis considers proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and data collected by the CMS experiment in 2016, with an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). We present a selection of recast predictions, obtained with MADANALYSIS 5 and DELPHES 3, that include a few differential distributions, yields, and efficiencies. We show that they agree at a level of a few percent with public CMS results.
