Higgs cross sections and decay branching ratios

Production cross sections and decay BRs for Run 3 (13.6 TeV)

From the WG1 TWiki:

• Instructions for 13.6 TeV cross section updates
• Ad interim 13.6 TeV cross sections based on YR4 extrapolations

Production cross sections and decay BRs for Run 2 (13 TeV)

• Higgs cross sections and BRs are available in a spreadsheet here in xlsx format.
• Instruction for Higgs Cross Section Calculation at 13/14 TeV
• Link to the previous recommendations in CERN Report 3 for Higgs XS at 13&14 TeV (link to 7&8 TeV numbers there) and XS for M_H = 125.09 GeV and BR.
