Abstract

We study the Standard Model Higgs and vector boson associated production with large transvese momentum at the 13 TeV LHC, followed by Higgs decay to bottom quark pair. Using mass-drop tagging and filtering techiques, we obtained the cross section of signal and background. The background mainly come from Vbb, tt and single top production. In order to suppress them further, we combined the mass-drop tagging and filtering analysis with N-subjettiness jet shape. After performing N-subjettiness identification, the significance can be enhanced to 3.52σ with current integrated luminosity of 13.2 \rm fb^-1. H→ bb decay channel is expected to reach 5σ with 27 \rm fb^-1 at the 13 TeV LHC.
