The ZZ/WZ signal as a background to ZH/WH (ℓℓ,νν)/ℓνb b¯$bar b$ searches with the CMS experiment

The WZ/ZZ (VZ) production channels with Z decaying to bottom quarks are one of the less reducible backgrounds for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson search in the same event topology (VH). The study of the VZ signal described here should be considered as a validation of the analysis strategy develo...
