Higgs properties measurements using the four lepton decay channel

Abstract

The measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson are presented in the H\rightarrowZZ\rightarrow4\ell (\ell=e,μ\mu) decay channel using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb1^{-1} of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. The signal-strength modifier μ\mu, defined as the production cross section of the Higgs boson times its branching fraction to four leptons relative to the standard model expectation, is measured to be μ=1.050.17+0.19\mu=1.05^{+0.19}_{-0.17} at mH=125.09 GeVm_{\mathrm{H}}=125.09~\mathrm{GeV}. Constraints are set on the strength modifiers for the main Higgs boson production modes. The mass is measured to be mH=125.26±0.21 GeVm_{\mathrm{H}}=125.26 \pm 0.21~\mathrm{GeV} and the width is constrained using on-shell production to be ΓH<1.10 GeV\Gamma_{\mathrm{H}}<1.10~\mathrm{GeV}, at 95%95\% CL. The fiducial cross section is measured to be 2.900.44+0.48(stat.)0.22+0.27(sys.) fb2.90^{+0.48}_{-0.44}({\rm stat.})^{+0.27}_{-0.22}({\rm sys.})~{\mathrm{fb}}, which is compatible with the standard model prediction of 2.72±0.14 fb2.72\pm0.14~{\mathrm{fb}}.Comment: Presented at LHCP201
