Abstract: Properties of the Higgs boson are measured in the $\mathrm{ H }\to\mathrm{ Z }\mathrm{ Z }\to4\ell$ ($\ell=$ e, $\mu$) decay channel. A data sample of proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ is used. The signal strength modifier $\mu$, defined as the ratio of the observed Higgs boson rate in the $\mathrm{ H }\to\mathrm{ Z }\mathrm{ Z }\to4\ell$ decay channel to the standard model expectation, is measured to be $\mu= $ 1.05$^{+0.19}_{-0.17}$ at $m_{\mathrm{ H }}= $ 125.09 GeV, the combined ATLAS and CMS measurement of the Higgs boson mass. The signal strength modifiers for the individual Higgs boson production modes are also measured. The cross section in the fiducial phase space defined by the requirements on lepton kinematics and event topology is measured to be 2.92$ ^{+0.48}_{-0.44} $ (stat)$ ^{+0.28}_{-0.24}$ (syst) fb, which is compatible with the standard model prediction of 2.76 $\pm$ 014 fb. Differential cross sections are reported as a function of the transverse momentum of the Higgs boson, the number of associated jets, and the transverse momentum of the leading associated jet. The Higgs boson mass is measured to be $m_{\mathrm{ H }}= $ 125.26 $\pm$ 0.21 GeV and the width is constrained using on-shell production to be $\Gamma_{\mathrm{ H } } < $ 1.10 GeV, at 95% confidence level.

Summary

The first results on Higgs boson production in the four-lepton final state at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV have been presented, using 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The signal strength modifier $\mu$, defined as the ratio of the observed Higgs boson rate in the $\mathrm{ H }\to\mathrm{ Z }\mathrm{ Z }\to4\ell$ decay channel to the standard model expectation, is measured to be $\mu = $ 1.05 $^{+0.15}_{-0.14}$ (stat) $^{+0.11}_{-0.09}$ (syst) = 1.05$^{+0.19}_{-0.17}$ at $m_{\mathrm{ H }}= $ 125.09 GeV, the combined ATLAS and CMS measurement of the Higgs boson mass. Two signal strength modifiers associated with the fermion- and vector-boson induced contributions to the expected standard model cross section are measured to be ${\mu_{\mathrm{g}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{ H },\,\mathrm{ t \bar{t} }\mathrm{ H }}} = $ 1.19$^{+0.21}_{-0.20} $ and ${\mu_{\mathrm{VBF},\mathrm{V\mathrm{ H }}}} =$ 0.00$^{+0.81}_{-0.00} $, respectively. The cross section at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV in a fiducial phase space defined to match the experimental acceptance in terms of the lepton kinematics and event topology, predicted in the standard model to be 2.76$\pm$0.14 fb, is measured to be 2.92$ ^{+0.48}_{-0.44}$ (stat)$ ^{+0.28}_{-0.24}$ (syst) fb. Differential cross sections are reported as a function of the transverse momentum of the Higgs boson, the number of associated jets, and the transverse momentum of the leading associated jet. The mass is measured to be $m_{\mathrm{ H }}= $ 125.26$\pm$ 0.20 (stat) $\pm$ 0.08 (syst) GeV and the width is constrained to be $\Gamma_{\mathrm{ H } } < $ 1.10 GeV at 95% confidence level. The production and decay properties of the Higgs boson are consistent, within their uncertainties, with the expectations for the standard model Higgs boson.
