Combination and Standar Model Scalar Boson Properties in CMS

Abstract

Combination results of the recently discovered boson are presented using data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 5.1 \invfb at 7 TeV and up to 12.2 \invfb at 8 TeV of proton-proton collisions collected with CMS experiment at LHC. The significance of the new boson is 6.9 Οƒ\sigma with mass measured to be 125.8 Β±\pm 0.4 (stat) Β±\pm 0.4 (syst). The event yields obtained by the different analyses targeting specific decay modes and production mechanisms are consistent with those predicted for the stand model (SM) Higgs boson. The best-fit signal strength for all channels combined, expressed in units of the SM Higgs boson cross section, is 0.88 Β±\pm 0.21 at the measured mass. The consistency of the couplins of the observed boson with those expected for the SM Higgs boson is tested in various ways, and no significant deviations are found. Results on the test of different spin-parity hypotheses of the observed boson are also shown, but with updated data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5.1 \invfb at 7 TeV and 19.6 \invfb at 8 TeV in two channels H β†’\rightarrow WW β†’Β 2β„“2Ξ½\rightarrow~2\ell2\nu and H β†’\rightarrow ZZ β†’Β 4β„“\rightarrow~4\ell separately. Under the assumption that the observed boson has spin 0 and positive parity, the pure scalar hypothesis is found to be consistent with the observed boson when compared to other tested spin-parity hypotheses. The data in the H β†’\rightarrow ZZ β†’Β 4β„“\rightarrow~4\ell channel disfavor the pseudo-scalar hypothesis 0βˆ’0^- with a CLs value of 0.16%, disfavor the pure spin-2 hypothesis of a narrow resonance with the minimal couplings to the vector bosons with a CLs value of 1.5%, and disfavor the pure spin-1 hypothesis with even smaller CLs value.Comment: 11 pages, 11 figures, proceedings of the talk given in the Rencontres de Moriond Electroweak Interactions and Unified theories 201
