Abstract
Following the implementation of the triggers mentioned in Sect. 5.3, it was possible to finalize the analysis strategy for the VBF \(H^0\rightarrow b\bar{b}\) search channel.

Notes
- 1.
The trigger was developed by a b-trigger working group within ATLAS, in consultation with myself.
- 2.
Note that the subscript bb in \(\Delta R_{bb}\) and m bb will represent the Higgs candidate jet pair. This will be used to distinguish them from the forward-backward jets pair, which uses the subscript jj. However, the bb pair does not necessarily ensure they are both b-tagged, as you will see below.
- 3.
Sphericity is a measure of how isotropic the jets in an event are, and is calculated from the eigenvalues of the sphericity tensor, described in [54].
- 4.
Note that although these plots are shown before any analysis results have been given, the result of the background estimation in the signal region was left blinded throughout the analysis to avoid bias.
