Measurements of <em>WH</em> and <em>ZH</em> production with Higgs boson decays into bottom quarks and direct constraints on the charm Yukawa coupling in 13 TeV <em>pp</em> collisions with the ATLAS de

A study of the Higgs boson decaying into bottom quarks (H → $b\bar{b}$) and charm quarks (H → $c\bar{c}$) is performed, in the associated production channel of the Higgs boson with a W or Z boson, using 140 fb⁻¹ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector. The individual production of WH and ZH with H → $b\bar{b}$ is established with observed (expected) significances of 5.3 (5.5) and 4.9 (5.6) standard deviations, respectively. Differential cross-section measurements of the gauge boson transverse momentum within the simplified template cross-section framework are performed in a total of 13 kinematical fiducial regions..
