Abstract
A search for the standard model Higgs boson produced by vector boson fusion in the fully hadronic four-jet topology is presented. The analysis is based on 2.3 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by CMS in 2015. Upper limits, at 95% confidence level, on the production cross section times branching fraction of the Higgs boson decaying to bottom quarks, are derived for a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV. The fitted signal strength relative to the expectation for the standard model Higgs boson is obtained. Results are also combined with the ones obtained with Run1 data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV collected in 2012.
