Constraints on standard model effective field theory effects with Higgs bosons produced in association with W or Z bosons in the H $ \rightarrow $ bb decay channel in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV
Abstract: A standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) analysis with dimension-six operators is performed in the Higgsstrahlung process, where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a W or Z boson, in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The final states where the W or Z boson decay leptonically and the Higgs boson decays to a pair of bottom quarks are considered. The analyzed data were collected by the CMS experiment between 2016 and 2018 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $. An approach targeted to optimize simultaneously the sensitivity to Wilson coefficients of multiple SMEFT operators is employed. The observed results are consistent with the predictions of the standard model.
