Abstract

The CMS collaboration has performed a search for an associated production of Higgs bosons and single top quarks in the H→ b b decay channel. The measurement is challenged by a complex multijet final state and an overwhelming background from top-quark pair production. These proceedings address a particular aspect of the search and describe the procedure deployed to discriminate the signal process from backgrounds.
