Measurement of fiducial differential cross sections of gluon-fusion production of Higgs bosons decaying to WW∗→eνμν with the ATLAS detector at √s = 8 TeV Aad, G. Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio Atlas Collaboration, / Hadron-Hadron scattering (experiments) This paper describes a measurement of fiducial and differential cross sections of gluon-fusion Higgs boson production in the H → WW∗→ eνμν channel, using 20.3 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data. The data were produced at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 8 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2012. Cross sections are measured from the observed H→WW∗→ eνμν signal yield in categories distinguished by the number of associated jets. The total cross section is measured in a fiducial region defined by the kinematic properties of the charged leptons and neutrinos. Differential cross sections are reported as a function of the number of jets, the Higgs boson transverse momentum, the dilepton rapidity, and the transverse momentum of the leading jet. The jet-veto efficiency, or fraction of events with no jets above a given transverse momentum threshold, is also reported. All measurements are compared to QCD predictions from Monte Carlo generators and fixed-order calculations, and are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions. 2024-10-16T10:23:53Z 2024-10-16T10:23:53Z 2016-08-17 journal article The ATLAS collaboration., Aad, G., Abbott, B. et al.
