Search for a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson produced in association with bottom quarks in pp collisions at ?s=8 TeV

Abstract

A search for a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson (A) produced in association with bottom quarks and decaying into a muon pair is reported. The search uses 19.7 fb?1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment. No signal is observed in the dimuon mass range from 25 to 60 GeV. Upper limits on the cross section times branching fraction, ?(pp?bb�A)?(A), are set.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]. � 2017, The Author(s).
