Abstract

A measurement of the Higgs boson mass in the diphoton decay channel is performed using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data set recorded with the CMS detector between 2016 and 2018 is used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb-1. A refined detector calibration and new analysis techniques are employed to improve the precision of the results compared to earlier measurements. The Higgs boson mass is measured to be mH = 125.13 ± 0.15 GeV = 125.13 ± 0.10 (stat) ± 0.12 (syst) GeV. In addition, a combination with the mass measurement at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV in the diphoton final state is performed resulting in mH = 125.06 ± 0.14 GeV = 125.06 ± 0.09 (stat) ± 0.11 (syst) GeV.
