Prospects for Higgs boson and new scalar resonant production searches in ttbb final state at the LHC
In this article we probe resonant associated production of a Standard Model Higgs boson with new heavy scalar resonant in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. The Higgs boson and new scalar resonant are required to decay into a pair of bottom quarks and a pair of top quarks, respectively. Semileptonic decay of top quarks is considered. The searches are projected into operation conditions of the Large Hadron Collider during Run II data taking period at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV using Monte Carlo generated events, realistic detector response simulation and available Open Data samples. Analysis strategies are summarized and machine learning approach using Deep Neural Network is proposed to resolve ambiguous in jets assignment and improve kinematic reconstruction of signal events. Sensitivity of the CMS detector is estimated as 95% expected upper limits on the product of the production cross section and the branching fractions of the searched process.
