Measurement of the Higgs boson mass in the → → 4 Decay Channel Using 139 fb Of TeV collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC

  • 1. CERN

Description

The mass of the Higgs boson is measured in the $H\to Z{Z}^{⁎}\to 4\ell $ decay channel. The analysis uses proton–proton collision data from the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector between 2015 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{−1}$. The measured value of the Higgs boson mass is $124.99±0.18\text{(stat.)}±0.04\text{(syst.)}$ GeV. In final states with muons, this measurement benefits from an improved momentum-scale calibration relative to that adopted in previous publications. The measurement also employs an analytic model that takes into account the invariant-mass resolution of the four-lepton system on a per-event basis and the output of a deep neural network discriminating signal from background events. This measurement is combined with the corresponding measurement using 7 and 8 TeV pp collision data, resulting in a Higgs boson mass of $124.94±0.17\text{(stat.)}±0.03\text{(syst.)}$ GeV.
