Abstract

A selection of measurements and results of Higgs physics obtained by the CMS experiment are presented, obtained with proton collision data collected in 2015 and 2016 at the center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.

Highlights

  • After over forty years of search efforts, the Higgs boson has been discovered by the CMS and ATLAS collaborations during the first extended running period of the CERN LHC (Run 1) with proton collisions at 7 and 8 TeV

  • Summary of CMS results with Run 1 data The final combined Run 1 results from CMS are published in Ref. [2] making use of protonproton collisions data collected in 2011 and 2012 and corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 5.1 fb−1 at 7 TeV and up to 19.7 fb−1 at 8 TeV

  • The event yields obtained in the different analyses production and decay channels are consistent with those expected for a standard model Higgs boson with the measured mass

Summary

Introduction

After over forty years of search efforts, the Higgs boson has been discovered by the CMS and ATLAS collaborations during the first extended running period of the CERN LHC (Run 1) with proton collisions at 7 and 8 TeV. The Run 1 data served to measure and set constraints on many accessible properties as the Higgs boson mass, its production and decay rates and its couplings to other standard model (SM) particles. The event yields obtained in the different analyses production and decay channels are consistent with those expected for a standard model Higgs boson with the measured mass. The outputs of the two BDT classifiers in each event category are combined in bins of different signal purity, shown, and the signal contribution is extracted with a simultaneous fit of the all bins contents.
