Abstract:
A search for a standard model Higgs boson (H) that is produced through vector boson fusion and
decays to a bottom-quark pair is performed using proton-proton collisions at ~TeV.
The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.3~fb recorded in 2015
with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC.
The observed 95\% confidence level upper limit on the
production of a signal at a mass of 125~GeV
is 3.0 times the standard model expectation, compared to 5.0 expected in absence of a signal.
The combination of this result with the previous CMS search using proton-proton collisions at ~TeV
yields an observed 95\% confidence level upper limit on the
signal production of 3.4 times the standard model expectation, where 2.2 is expected in the absence of signal,
and a corresponding fitted signal strength .Note:
