Title: | Search for Higgs boson decays to a photon and a Z boson in pp collisions at s=7 and 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector | Authors: | Santos, S. P. Amor dos Carvalho, J. Fiolhais, M. C. N. Galhardo, B. Veloso, F. Wolters, H. ATLAS Collaboration |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | Elsevier | Serial title, monograph or event: | Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics | Volume: | 732 | Abstract: | A search is reported for a neutral Higgs boson in the decay channel H→Zγ, Z→ℓ +ℓ -(ℓ = e, μ), using 4.5 fb-1of pp collisions at s=7 TeV and 20.3 fb-1of pp collisions at s=8 TeV, recorded by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The observed distribution of the invariant mass of the three final-state particles,mℓℓγ, is consistent with the Standard Model hypothesis in the investigated mass range of 120-150 GeV. For a Higgs boson with a mass of 125.5 GeV, the observed upper limit at the 95% confidence level is 11 times the Standard Model expectation. Upper limits are set on the cross section times branching ratio of a neutral Higgs boson with mass in the range 120-150 GeV between 0.13 and 0.5 pb for s=8 TeV at 95% confidence level. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/109633 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.physletb.2014.03.015 | Rights: | openAccess |
