- ZH llbb Backgrounds Z + b(bb ) dominates: Shape from MC Normalization from sideband (m bb < 80GeV); Cross check in single-b control region m bj Top: From MC Cross check in m ll control regions: [60GeV, 76GeV] or [106GeV, 150GeV] Multijet: e channel: multijet sample from reverting electron quality cuts channel: negligible (from MC) Diboson ZZ, WZ: from MC Ricardo GonaloEPS-HEP 2011 - Grenoble - July 201115

- WH lbb Backgrounds W+jets and top dominant: W+jets important at low m bb : Use m jj from data as template Top dominant at high m bb : Describe shape with MC Cross check m bb in 3-jet bin Normalisation from m bb sidebands [40GeV, 80 GeV] and [140GeV, 250GeV] Z+jets: use same normalisation of MC as measured in ZH Multijet Data templates from QCD enhanced samples (anti- isolation) Diboson WW, WZ from Monte Carlo Ricardo GonaloEPS-HEP 2011 - Grenoble - July 201117

- Select W l events and search for a H bb jet 1.Search for high-p T jet (Cambridge-Aachen algorithm, R=1.2) 2.Search jet clustering history in reverse and look for large mass drop 3.Re-cluster with small R parameter to find sub jets Peak consistent with W jj in tt events Proof of principle for future analysis Alternative to inclusive channels: search for high-pT Higgs to bb: J.
