The coupling of the Higgs to charm quarks: how much can the LHC probe?

The Higgs couplings to fermions are known parameters within the

Standard Model. Deviations from these expectations would be clear signals of

new physics and are thus important target measurements for the LHC program.

In this talk I shall discuss ways to extra information about the coupling of

the Higgs boson to the charm quark with emphasis on methods applicable with

the available LHC data set. A novel method based on the current ATLAS and CMS

Hbb measurement will be presented and compared to our knowledge so far.
