Higgs properties measurements using the four lepton decay channel

Abstract

The measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson are presented in the H→ZZ→4 (=e,μ) decay channel using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-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, 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=1.05+0.19-0.17 at mH=125.09~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~GeV and the width is constrained using on-shell production to be H<1.10~GeV, at 95\% CL. The fiducial cross section is measured to be 2.90+0.48-0.44( stat.)+0.27-0.22( sys.)~fb, which is compatible with the standard model prediction of 2.720.14~fb.
