Abstract:
The measurement of the Higgs boson production for the two photon decay channel with the first LHC Run 2 data is described. The analysis is performed using the dataset recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC from pp collisions at centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.7 fb$^{-1}$. An event classification has been performed to maximize signal significance and to study specific Higgs boson production modes. The observed significance for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson is 1.7$\sigma$, where a significance of 2.7$\sigma$ is expected. The best-fit signal strength relative to the standard model prediction is 0.69$^{+0.47}_{-0.42}$. Additional measurements include the signal strength associated with different production mechanisms. The combination of ttH results with CMS data at 13 TeV is summarized at this url. | ||
