Possibilities for h0→bb̄ with CMS at LHC

We study the possibility of observing the lightest SUSY scalar Higgs h0 in squark/gluino cascade decays exploiting its dominant decay mode h0→bb̄ with the CMS detector at the LHC. The study is done within the minimal Supergravity model (mSUGRA). We find that there is a significant part of the mSUGRA parameter space where the h0→bb̄ peak can be observed with a signal to background ratio of ∼1, starting already at the low luminosity Lint=103 pb−1. Almost the entire h0 mass range from 80 GeV up to 125 GeV can be investigated in this way.
