Search for Higgs boson production in final states with b- quarks with the LHC Run II data

The discovery of a 125 GeV Higgs boson in July 2012 was a huge milestone for particle physics. While the properties of this particle agree with the predictions of the Standard Model at the current precision of measurements, it could well be only the first member of an extended Higgs sector. Different theoretical models, such as Supersymmetry and Compositeness, require additional Higgs bosons. This work focuses on the search for such Higgs bosons in final states with b-quarks, corresponding to the strongest decay channel in minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM (MSSM) within the allowed parameter space. The status of first studies with data of the CMS experiment collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is presented.
