Measurement of boosted Higgs bosons produced via vector boson fusion or gluon fusion in the H → bb¯ decay mode using LHC proton-proton collision data at √s = 13 TeV by Hayrapetyan, A., Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Andrejkovic, J. W., Bergauer, T., Chatterjee, S., Damanakis, K., Dragicevic, M., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Li, A., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R., Schwarz, D., Sonawane, M., The CMS collaboration

“…The decay of a high-pT Higgs boson to a boosted bottom quark-antiquark pair is selected using large-radius jets and employing jet substructure and heavy-flavor taggers based on machine learning techniques. Independent regions targeting the vector boson and gluon fusion mechanisms are defined based on the topology of two quark-initiated jets with large pseudorapidity separation. …”
