      abstract = {This thesis presents the analysis that led to the  observation of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson decay  into pairs of bottom quarks. The analysis, based on a  multivariate strategy, exploits the production of a Higgs  boson associated with a vector boson. The analysis was  performed on a dataset corresponding to a luminosity of  79.8/fb collected by the ATLAS experiment during Run-2 at a  centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. An excess of events over  the expected background is observed in a combination with  complementary Hbb searches. The analysis was extended to  provide a finer interpretation of the signal measurement.  The cross sections of the V H(H2!bb) process have been  measured in exclusive regions of phase space and used to  search for deviations from the SM with an effective field  theory approach. The results are discussed in this book. A  novel technique for the fast simulation of the ATLAS  forward calorimeter response is also presented. The new  technique is based on similarity search, a branch of  machine learning that enables quick and efficient searches  for vectors similar to each other.},
