Description
The modeling of top quark production (ttbar and single-top) and vector boson
production (W/Z) in association with heavy flavor jets constitutes one of the
largest uncertainties in the extraction of a Higgs to b-quarks signal at the LHC,
and is thus a crucial aspect to address on the way from the observation of this
decay to precise differential measurements. This talk will give an overview of
how these backgrounds are currently dealt with in the VH, Higgs to bb analysis,
the impact of their modeling uncertainties on the most recent inclusive and
differential results, and provide an outlook about where improved predictions
are needed to overcome the current limitations.
