| Abstract: A search is presented for the Higgs boson decay to a pair of electrons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV. The data set was collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC between 2016 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The analysis uses event categories targeting Higgs boson production via gluon-fusion and vector boson fusion. An upper limit on the Higgs boson branching fraction to an electron pair is determined as 3.0$\times$10$^{-4}$ (3.0$\times$10$^{-4}$ expected) at the 95% confidence level. This is the most stringent limit on the Higgs boson branching fraction to a pair of electrons to date. | ||
