Abstract
We study the possibility of observing the lightest SUSY scalar Higgs h (0) in squark/gluino cascade decays exploiting its dominant decay mode h(0) --> b(b)over-bar with the CMS detector at the LHC. The study is done within the minimal Supergravity model (mSUGRA). We find that ther e is a significant part of the mSUGRA parameter space where the h(0) - -> b(b)over-bar peak can be observed with a signal to background ratio of similar to 1, starting already at the low luminosity L-int = 10(3) pb(-1). Almost the entire h(0) mass range from SO GeV up to 125 GeV c an be investigated in this way. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rig hts reserved.
