Spin and Parity of the Higgs Boson in the $H \rightarrow b\bar{b}$ Decay Channel at D0

We present constraints on the 125~GeV boson spin $J$ and parity $P$ in the $H \rightarrow b\bar{b}$ decay channel in up to 9.7 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the D0 detector. We compare the standard model (SM) prediction of $J^{P}=0^{+}$ with two alternative hypotheses, $J^{P}=0^{-}$ and $J^{P}=2^{+}$, in the $ZH\rightarrow \ell\ell b\bar{b}$, $WH\rightarrow \ell\nu b\bar{b}$, and $ZH\rightarrow \nu\nu b\bar{b}$ final states. To distinguish different Higgs boson $J^{P}$ states we use the invariant mass of the $VH$ system, which is sensitive to the different kinematics of the $J^{P}$ states. We use a likelihood ratio to quantify the level of preference in data for the $J^{P}=0^{+}$ SM prediction. This presentation will describe the methodology and present the latest results.
