| Search for a heavy scalar boson decaying into a pair of Z bosons in the $ 2\ell 2\nu $ final state | ||

| Abstract: We present a generic search for a heavy scalar boson using 13 TeV proton-proton collision data acquired by the CMS experiment in 2015. Events in the decay channel $ \mathrm{ H \rightarrow ZZ \rightarrow 2\ell 2\nu }$ are selected from data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb$^{-1}$. An analysis of the reconstructed transverse mass and missing transverse energy is performed in different event categories, and limits are set on the production cross section of a heavy scalar of variable width in the gluon-fusion and vector-boson fusion production modes. The limits are interpreted as constraints on the production of a heavy scalar in the electroweak singlet model. They are stronger than the Run 1 analysis results in the mass range around 1 TeV and above. Constraints are also set in the $\tan \beta - m_{\mathrm{H}} $ parameter space of specific Type-I and Type-II two-Higgs doublet models. | ||
