Higgs III
- Ian Lewis (The University of Kansas)
The most precise measurements of Higgs boson single and double Higgs production cross sections are obtained from a combination of measurements performed in different Higgs boson production and decay channels. While double Higgs production can be used to directly constrain the Higgs boson self-coupling, the latter can be also constrained by exploiting higher-order electroweak corrections to...
The most precise measurements of Higgs boson cross sections, using the framework of simplified template cross sections, are obtained from a combination of the measurements performed in the different Higgs boson decay channels. This talk presents the combined measurements, as well as their interpretation.
The Higgs boson decay into two b quarks was observed in summer 2018 and is now used to study Higgs boson production with a focus on Higgs boson production with high transverse momentum. This talk will present measurements based on 13 TeV data.
The study of and search for rare and forbidden production and decay processes is an important aspect of the Higgs physics program at the LHC. Production in association with top-quark pairs can already be used for property studies of the Higgs boson, and several rare and forbidden decays are still being searched for. The status of these searches and measurements based on 13 TeV proton-proton...
The discovery of the Higgs boson with the mass of about 125GeV completed the particle content predicted by the Standard Model. Even though this model is well established and consistent with many measurements, it is not capable to solely explain some observations. Many extensions addressing this fact introduce additional Higgs-like bosons which can be either neutral, singly-charged or even...
The Higgs boson decay into the four-lepton final state can be fully reconstructed with very small backgrounds, and, despite the small $H\to 4\ell$ branching ratio, allows for detailed property measurements. This talk presents measurements sensitive to the Higgs boson production processes, kinematics, and mass based on pp collision data recorded at $13$ TeV.
We report on a search for an extension to the scalar sector of the standard model, where a new CP-even (odd) boson decays to a Z boson and a lighter CP-odd (even) boson. The Z boson further decays to a b quark pair while as lighter boson is reconstructed via its decays to electron or muon pairs. The analysed data were recorded by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at the LHC during...
The latest CMS results on the Higgs boson decays to a W boson pair are presented. The focus of the talk are the inclusive and differential cross section measurements performed using the full Run2 data collected by the CMS detector at LHC, as well as the constraints on the Higgs boson couplings to fermions and vector bosons arising from the simultaneous measurement of different production...
