Abstract

Searches for the decay of the Higgs boson in a pair of charm quarks (H → cc¯) were carried out by the CMS and ATLAS experiments with data collected during the Run-2 of the LHC in proton-proton collisions. The most stringent upper limit on the signal strength was set by the CMS Collaboration in the VH production mode, with the Higgs boson produced in association with a leptonically decaying vector boson (W or Z). The observed upper limit on σ(V H)B(H → cc¯) is 14 times the standard model prediction. During Run-3, tighter constraints could be established by extending the search to other production mechanisms of the Higgs boson, like the vector boson fusion. The search for H → cc¯ performed by CMS with Run-2 data is described in this work.
