Description
A primary focus of the LHC physics programme after the recent discovery of a Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations is the study of the properties of the new particle. The observation of a sizable branching fraction of the Higgs boson to invisible states would be a strong sign of physics beyond the standard model. A direct search for a standard-model-like Higgs boson produced in association with a Z boson and decaying to invisible particles has recently performed by both collaborations. No deviation from the background expectation is observed and limits are set on the branching fraction of the standard model Higgs boson decaying to invisible particles assuming the standard model production rate.
