Abstract

The measurements of the Higgs boson (H) production cross sections performed by the CMS Collaboration in the four-lepton (4ℓ, ℓ = e, μ) final state at a center-of-mass energy √(s) = 13.6 TeV are presented. These measurements are based on data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2022, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 34.7 fb^-1. Cross sections are measured in a fiducial region closely matching the experimental acceptance, both inclusively and differentially, as a function of the transverse momentum and the absolute value of the rapidity of the four-lepton system. The H → ZZ → 4ℓ inclusive fiducial cross section is measured to be 2.89 ^+0.53_-0.49 (stat) ^+0.29_-0.21 (syst) fb, in agreement with the standard model expectation of 3.09 ^+0.27_-0.24 fb.

• #CMSPaper 1377 measures the #Higgsboson in the golden four-lepton channel (look at that pretty peak!) in the data collected in 2022. It also provides information on the kinematic behaviour of the Higg [bsky, 4 points, 0 comments]
