Search for a Standard Model Higgs boson in the mass range 200–600 GeV in the H→ZZ→ℓ + ℓ − qq¯ decay channel with the ATLAS Detector
A search for a heavy Standard Model Higgs boson decaying via H→ZZ→ℓ + ℓ − qq¯, where ℓ=e or μ, is presented. The search uses a data set of pp collisions at s=7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb −1 collected in 2011 by the ATLAS detector at the CERN LHC. No significant excess o...

| Sumario: | A search for a heavy Standard Model Higgs boson decaying via H→ZZ→ℓ + ℓ − qq¯, where ℓ=e or μ, is presented. The search uses a data set of pp collisions at s=7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb −1 collected in 2011 by the ATLAS detector at the CERN LHC. No significant excess of events above the estimated background is found. Upper limits at 95% confidence level on the production cross section of a Higgs boson with a mass in the range between 200 and 600 GeV are derived. A Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass in the range 300 GeV⩽m H ⩽322 GeV or 353 GeV⩽m H ⩽410 GeV is excluded at 95% CL. The corresponding expected exclusion range is 351 GeV⩽m H ⩽404 GeV at 95% CL. © 2012 CERN |
