Measurements of inclusive and differential cross sections for the Higgs boson production and decay to four-leptons in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV
JHEP 08 (2023) 040
Abstract: Measurements of the inclusive and differential fiducial cross sections for the Higgs boson production in the H $\to$ ZZ $\to$ 4$\ell$ ($ \ell=$ e, $\mu $) decay channel are presented. The results are obtained from the analysis of proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The measured inclusive fiducial cross section is 2.73 $ \pm $ 0.26 fb, in agreement with the standard model expectation of 2.86 $ \pm $ 0.1 fb. Differential cross sections are measured as a function of several kinematic observables sensitive to the Higgs boson production and decay to four leptons. A set of double-differential measurements is also performed, yielding a comprehensive characterization of the four leptons final state. Constraints on the Higgs boson trilinear coupling and on the bottom and charm quark coupling modifiers are derived from its transverse momentum distribution. All results are consistent with theoretical predictions from the standard model.

Summary
This paper presents a comprehensive characterization of the H $\to$ ZZ $\to$ 4$\ell$ decay channel via the measurement of fiducial differential cross sections as functions of several kinematic observables. The H boson production is characterized via measurements of differential cross sections in bins of $ p_{\mathrm{T}}^\mathrm{H} $ and $ |y_\text{\mathrm{H}}| $, the $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ of the leading and subleading jets and observables of the dijet system, when associated with jets. For the first time, fiducial cross sections are measured in bins of the seven kinematic observables that completely define the four-lepton decay: the invariant mass of the two Z bosons and the five angles that describe the fermions kinematical properties and the production and decay planes. Differential cross sections are also measured for the first time in bins of six matrix element kinematic discriminants sensitive to various anomalous couplings of the H boson to vector bosons. The dynamical evolution of the renormalization and factorization scales, and resummation effects are probed by measuring cross sections in bins of rapidity-weighted jet vetoes, and in bins of observables of the H plus jets system. An extensive set of double-differential measurements is presented, providing a complete coverage of the phase space under study. The $ \mathrm{H}\to\mathrm{Z}\mathrm{Z}\to4\ell $ inclusive fiducial cross section is $ \sigma_{{\text{fid}}}= $ 2.73 $ \pm $ 0.26 fb $= $ 2.73 $ \pm $ 0.22 (stat) $ \pm $ 0.15 (syst) fb, in agreement with the SM expectation of 2.86 $ \pm $ 0.15 fb. The measurement of the fiducial cross section in differential bins of $ p_{\mathrm{T}}^\mathrm{H} $ is used to set constraints on the trilinear self-coupling of the H boson, with an observed (expected) limit of $ -$5.4 ($-$7.6) $ < \kappa_\lambda < $ 14.9 (17.7) at the 95% CL. Finally, constraints on the modifiers of H boson couplings to b and c quarks ($ \kappa_\mathrm{b} $ and $ \kappa_\mathrm{c} $) are also determined with an observed (expected) limit of $ -$1.1 ($-$1.3) $ < \kappa_\mathrm{b} < $ 1.1 (1.2) and $ -$5.3 ($-$5.7) $ < \kappa_\mathrm{c} < $ 5.2 (5.7) at the 95% CL. All results are consistent with the SM predictions for the $ \mathrm{H}\to\mathrm{Z}\mathrm{Z}\to4\ell $ decay channel in the considered fiducial phase space.
