Fiducial And Differential Cross Section Measurements For The Vector Boson Fusion Production Of The Higgs Boson In The H Ww E Decay Channel At 13 Tev With The Atlas Detector

Fiducial and Differential Cross-section Measurements for the Vector-boson-fusion Production of the Higgs Boson in the H→WW*→eνμν Decay Channel at 13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector

Measurement of Fiducial Differential Cross Sections of Gluon-fusion Production of Higgs Bosons Decaying to WW* {u2192} E??? with the ATLAS Detector at $ \sqrt{s}

Here, this paper describes a measurement of fiducial and differential cross sections of gluon-fusion Higgs boson production in the H → WW *→ e??? 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→ W W*→ e??? 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.
