Search for a Higgs boson decaying into a Z and a photon in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 and 8 TeV

Pages: 29

Abstract: A search for a Higgs boson decaying into a Z boson and a photon is described. The analysis is performed using proton-proton collision datasets recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. Events were collected at center-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5.0 and 19.6 inverse femtobarns, respectively. The selected events are required to have opposite-sign electron or muon pairs with an invariant mass greater than 50 GeV. No excess above standard model predictions has been found in the 120-160 GeV mass range and the first limits on the Higgs boson production cross section times the $H \to Z\gamma$ branching fraction at the LHC have been derived. The observed limits are between about 4 and 25 times the standard model cross section times the branching fraction. The observed and expected limits for $m_{ll\gamma}$ at 125 GeV are within one order of magnitude of the standard model prediction.
