The integrated luminosity of the data sample is 138 fb$^{-1}$. Selected events must be consistent with the presence of two jets originating from VBS, the leptonic decay of the W boson to an electron or muon, possibly also through an intermediate $\\tau$ lepton, and a Higgs boson decaying into a pair of b quarks, reconstructed as either a single merged jet or two resolved jets. A measurement of the process as predicted by the standard model (SM) is performed alongside a study of beyond-the-SM (BSM) scenarios. The SM analysis sets an observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limit of 14.3 (9.9) on the ratio of the measured VBS WH cross section to that expected by the SM. The BSM analysis, conducted within the so-called $\\kappa$ framework, excludes all scenarios with $\\lambda_\\mathrm{WZ}$ $\\lt$ 0 that are consistent with current measurements, where $\\lambda_\\mathrm{WZ}$ = $\\kappa_\\mathrm{W} / \\kappa_\\mathrm{Z}$ and $\\kappa_\\mathrm{W}$ and $\\kappa_\\mathrm{Z}$ are the HWW and HZZ coupling modifiers, respectively. The signficance of the exclusion is beyond 5 standard deviations, and it is consistent with the SM expectation of $\\lambda_\\mathrm{WZ}$ = 1.","hasPart":[{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.151278.v1/t1","@type":"Dataset","description":"The exclusion significance in the BSM analysis with $\\kappa_W = -1$, $\\kappa_Z = +1$ plotted as a function of the...","name":"Negative log likelihood plot for the BSM analysis"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.151278.v1/t2","@type":"Dataset","description":"The exclusion significance of signal strength = 1 in the BSM analysis plotted as a function of $\\kappa_W$ and $\\kappa_Z$.","name":"BSM analysis 2D exclusion plot"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.151278.v1/t3","@type":"Dataset","description":"Histogram of the background predicted from simulation in regions B, C, D, background estimated from data in region A, and...","name":"BSM analysis ABCD yields"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.151278.v1/t4","@type":"Dataset","description":"Histogram of the Hbb AK8 jet softdrop mass for data, simulated signal and background events, and the background yields estimated...","name":"BSM analysis 10-bin MSD histogram in regions A and D"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.151278.v1/t5","@type":"Dataset","description":"Histogram of the Hbb AK8 jet softdrop mass for data and simulated signal and background events.","name":"BSM analysis 10-bin MSD histogram in regions B and C"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.151278.v1/t6","@type":"Dataset","description":"Histogram of $p_{T}(H) + p_{T}(W)$ at the LHE level.","name":"BSM analysis LHE kinematics plot"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.151278.v1/t7","@type":"Dataset","description":"The signal yield estimated by simulation, background yield predicted from data, and observed yield in the signal region.","name":"BSM analysis signal region yields table"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.151278.v1/t8","@type":"Dataset","description":"Observed and expected BDT output in the signal region used for the extraction of the SM-like signal strength.
