Abstract

A study of the sensitivity for the inclusive production of Standard Model Higgs bosons H decaying in ZZ{sup (*)} pairs is presented with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC pp collider at 14 TeV centre of mass energy, for the integrated luminosity of 1 fb{sup -1}. The analysis is performed for the leptonic decay channels H->ZZ{sup (*)}->4l with l = e,mu and for a mass m{sub H} in the range from 120 to 250 GeV/c{sup 2}. A simple m{sub H} independent sequence of cuts is established which provides a clean sample of 4l events while preserving the highest signal detection efficiency. A signal with a significance above 2 standard deviations is found unlikely for a Higgs boson with a mass m{sub H} lying anywhere in the mass range considered. In absence of significant deviations from background expectations, upper limits on the production cross-section of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson can be established. The limits extend beyond existing constraints.

Search for an additional, heavy Higgs boson in the $$H\rightarrow ZZ$$ H decay channel at $$\sqrt{s} = 8\;\text{ TeV }$$ in $pp$ collision data with the ATLAS detector

Journal Article Aad, G.; Abbott, B.; Abdallah, J.; ... - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

A search is presented for a high-mass Higgs boson in the H → ZZ → ℓ ⁺ ℓ ^- ℓ ⁺ ℓ ^- , (Formula Presented), (Formula Presented), and (Formula Presented) decay modes using the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3fb ^-1 . The results of the search are interpreted in the scenario of a heavy Higgs boson with a width that is small compared with the experimental mass resolution. The Higgs boson mass range considered extends up tomore »« less

Measurements of the Higgs boson production and decay rates and constraints on its couplings from a combined ATLAS and CMS analysis of the LHC pp collision data at $$$$\sqrt{s}=7 $$$$ and 8 TeV

Journal Article Aad, G.; Abbott, B.; Abdallah, J.; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

Combined ATLAS and CMS measurements of the Higgs boson production and decay rates, as well as constraints on its couplings to vector bosons and fermions, are presented. The combination is based on the analysis of five production processes, namely gluon fusion, vector boson fusion, and associated production with a W or a Z boson or a pair of top quarks, and of the six decay modes H → ZZ, W W , γγ, ττ, bb, and μμ. All results are reported assuming a value of 125.09 GeV for the Higgs boson mass, the result of the combined measurement by themore »« less

Search for lepton-flavour-violating decays of the Higgs boson

Journal Article Khachatryan, V.; Sirunyan, A.; Tumasyan, A.; ... - Physics Letters B

The first direct search for lepton-flavour-violating decays of the recently discovered Higgs boson (H) is described. The search is performed in the H → μτ_e and H → μτ_h channels, where τe and τh are tau leptons reconstructed in the electronic and hadronic decay channels, respectively. The data sample used in this search was collected in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 8 TeV with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb^-1. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the search is an order of magnitude better than the existing indirectmore »« less

Journal Article Bar-Shalom, S; Wudka, J; Eilam, G; ... - Physical Review, D

The standard model with one extra Higgs doublet may give rise to an enhanced {ital tree-level} flavor-changing-scalar coupling of a neutral Higgs boson to a pair of top-charm quarks. This coupling may drive a large {ital tree-level} effective W{sup +}W{sup {minus}}(ZZ)-Higgs boson-t{bar c} interaction. As a result we find that the reactions e{sup +}e{sup {minus}}{r_arrow}t{bar c}{nu}{sub e}{bar {nu}}{sub e}, t{bar c}e{sup +}e{sup {minus}}, t{bar c}Z and the two rare top decays t{r_arrow}cW{sup +}W{sup {minus}}, t{r_arrow}cZZ become very sensitive probes of such an effective interaction. The most promising ones, e{sup +}e{sup {minus}}{r_arrow}t{bar c}{nu}{sub e}{bar {nu}}{sub e}, t{bar c}e{sup +}e{sup {minus}}, maymore »« less

Combined search for the Standard Model Higgs boson using up to 4.9 fb(-1) of pp collision data at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

Journal Article Aad, G; Abbott, B; Abdallah, J; ... - Physics Letters B

A combined search for the Standard Model Higgs boson with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC using datasets corresponding to integrated luminosities from 1.04 fb{sup -1} to 4.9 fb{sup -1} of pp collisions collected at {radical}s = 7 TeV is presented. The Higgs boson mass ranges 112.9-115.5 GeV, 131-238 GeV and 251-466 GeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level (CL), while the range 124-519 GeV is expected to be excluded in the absence of a signal. An excess of events is observed around m{sub H} {approx} 126 GeV with a local significance of 3.5 standard deviations ({sigma}). The localmore »« less
