Observation of H→bb¯ decays and VH production with the ATLAS detector

A search for the decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson into a bb¯ pair when produced in association with a W or Z boson is performed with the ATLAS detector. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79.8fb −1 were collected in proton–proton collisions during Run 2 of the Large Hadron...
