To “b” or not to “b”: is there a new heavy Higgs boson decaying to b quarks?
A particle compatible with the Higgs boson of the standard model (SM) was observed in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, with a mass of about 125 GeV.

Searching For Signs of New Higgs Bosons
The 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN LHC was a milestone confirmation of the Standard Model, a theoretical framework that describes all the known elementary particles – the fundamental building blocks of our universe – and their interactions.
