Measurement of the branching fraction of the decay B-s(0) -> (KSKS0)-K-0

, Physical Review D: Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, Vol: 102, Pages: 012011 – 1-012011 – 15, ISSN: 1550-2368

A measurement of the branching fraction of the decay B0s→K0SK0S is performed using proton–proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 fb−1 collected by the LHCb experiment between 2011 and 2016. The branching fraction is determined to be B(B0s→K0SK0S)=[8.3±1.6(stat)±0.9(syst)±0.8(norm)±0.3(fs/fd)]×10−6, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third and fourth are due to uncertainties on the branching fraction of the normalization mode B0→ϕK0S and the ratio of hadronization fractions fs/fd. This is the most precise measurement of this branching fraction to date. Furthermore, a measurement of the branching fraction of the decay B0→K0SK0S is performed relative to that of the B0s→K0SK0S channel, and is found to be B(B0→K0SK0S)B(B0s→K0SK0S)=[7.5±3.1(stat)±0.5(syst)±0.3(fs/fd)]×10−2.

Off-axis characterisation of the CERN T10 beam for low momentum proton measurements with a high pressure gas time projection chamber

, Instruments, Vol: 4, Pages: 21-21, ISSN: 2410-390X

We present studies of proton fluxes in the T10 beamline at CERN. A prototype high pressure gas time projection chamber (TPC) was exposed to the beam of protons and other particles, using the 0.8 GeV/c momentum setting in T10, in order to make cross section measurements of low energy protons in argon. To explore the energy region comparable to hadrons produced by GeV-scale neutrino interactions at oscillation experiments, i.e., near 0.1 GeV of kinetic energy, methods of moderating the T10 beam were employed: the dual technique of moderating the beam with acrylic blocks and measuring scattered protons off the beam axis was used to decrease the kinetic energy of incident protons, as well as change the proton/minimum ionising particle (MIP) composition of the incident flux. Measurements of the beam properties were made using time of flight systems upstream and downstream of the TPC. The kinetic energy of protons reaching the TPC was successfully changed from ∼0.3 GeV without moderator blocks to less than 0.1 GeV with four moderator blocks (40 cm path length). The flux of both protons and MIPs off the beam axis was increased. The ratio of protons to MIPs vary as a function of the off-axis angle allowing for possible optimisation of the detector to select the type of required particles. Simulation informed by the time of flight measurements show that with four moderator blocks placed in the beamline, (5.6 ± 0.1) protons with energies below 0.1 GeV per spill traversed the active TPC region. Measurements of the beam composition and energy are presented.

, Physical Review D: Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, Vol: 102, Pages: 1-16, ISSN: 1550-2368

This paper reports the first differential measurement of the charged-current ¯νμ interaction cross section on water with no pions in the final state. The unfolded flux-averaged measurement using the T2K off-axis near detector is given in double-differential bins of μ+ momentum and angle. The integrated cross section in a restricted phase space is σ=(1.11±0.18)×10−38 cm2 per water molecule. Comparisons with several nuclear models are also presented.

New study of the Boer-Mulders function: Implications for the quark and hadron transverse momenta

, Physical Review D: Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, Vol: 102, Pages: 014035 – 1-014035 – 12, ISSN: 1550-2368

In series of papers, the Boer-Mulders function for a given quark flavor has been extracted: (i) from data on semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, using the simplifying, but theoretically inconsistent, assumption that it is proportional to the Sivers function for each quark flavor and (ii) from data on Drell-Yan reactions. In earlier papers, using the semi-inclusive deep inelastic COMPASS deuteron data on the ⟨cosϕh⟩ and ⟨cos2ϕh⟩ asymmetries, we extracted the collinear xB dependence of the Boer-Mulders function for the sum of the valence quarks QV=uV+dV using a small number of model dependent assumptions and found a significant disagreement with the analysis in (i). In the present paper, we provide a more complete analysis of the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering reaction, including a discussion of higher twist and interaction-dependent terms, and also a comparison with the Boer-Mulders function extracted from data on the Drell-Yan reaction. We confirm that the proportionality relation of the BM function to the Sivers function, for each quark flavor, fails badly, but find that it holds rather well if applied to the nonsinglet valence-quark combination, QV. We also find good agreement with the results of the Drell-Yan analysis. Furthermore, we obtain interesting information on the quark transverse momentum densities in the nucleon and on the hadron transverse momentum dependence in quark fragmentation.

Measurement of the cross section for t(t)over-bar production with additional jets and b jets in pp collisions at root s=13TeV

, The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2020, Pages: 1-46, ISSN: 1029-8479

Measurements of the cross section for the production of top quark pairs in association with a pair of jets from bottom quarks (σtt¯bb¯¯¯) and in association with a pair of jets from quarks of any flavor or gluons (σtt¯jj) and their ratio are presented. The data were collected in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The measurements are performed in a fiducial phase space and extrapolated to the full phase space, separately for the dilepton and lepton+jets channels, where lepton corresponds to either an electron or a muon. The results of the measurements in the fiducial phase space for the dilepton and lepton+jets channels, respectively, are σtt¯jj = 2.36±0.02 (stat)±0.20 (syst) pb and 31.0±0.2 (stat)±2.9 (syst) pb, and for the cross section ratio 0.017 ± 0.001 (stat) ± 0.001 (syst) and 0.020 ± 0.001 (stat) ± 0.001 (syst). The values of σtt¯bb¯¯¯ are determined from the product of the σtt¯jj and the cross section ratio, obtaining, respectively, 0.040±0.002 (stat)±0.005 (syst) pb and 0.62±0.03 (stat)±0.07 (syst) pb. These measurements are the most precise to date and are consistent, within the uncertainties, with the standard model expectations obtained using a matrix element calculation at next-to-leading order in quantum chromodynamics matched to a parton shower.

Precision measurement of the B-c(+) meson mass

, The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2020, Pages: 1-21, ISSN: 1029-8479

A precision measurement of the B+c meson mass is performed using proton- proton collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9.0 fb−1. The B+c mesons are reconstructed via the decays B+c→ J/ψπ+, B+c→ J/ψπ+π−π+, B+c→J/ψpp¯¯¯π+, B+c→J/ψD+s, B+c→ J/ψ D0K+ and B+c→B0sπ+. Combining the results of the individual decay channels, the B+c mass is measured to be 6274.47 ± 0.27 (stat) ± 0.17 (syst) MeV/c2. This is the most precise measurement of the B+c mass to date. The difference between the B+c and B0s meson masses is measured to be 907.75 ± 0.37 (stat) ± 0.27 (syst) MeV/c.

Search for charged Higgs bosons decaying into a top and a bottom quark in the all-jet final state of pp collisions at root s=13 TeV

, The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2020, Pages: 1-48, ISSN: 1029-8479

A search for charged Higgs bosons (H±) decaying into a top and a bottom quark in the all-jet final state is presented. The analysis uses LHC proton-proton collision data recorded with the CMS detector in 2016 at s√ = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. No significant excess is observed above the expected background. Model-independent upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the product of the H± production cross section and branching fraction in two scenarios. For production in association with a top quark, limits of 21.3 to 0.007 pb are obtained for H± masses in the range of 0.2 to 3 TeV. Combining this with a search in leptonic final states results in improved limits of 9.25 to 0.005 pb. The complementary s-channel production of an H± is investigated in the mass range of 0.8 to 3 TeV and the corresponding upper limits are 4.5 to 0.023 pb. These results are interpreted using different minimal supersymmetric extensions of the standard model.

Measurement of quark- and gluon-like jet fractions using jet charge in PbPb and pp collisions at 5.02 TeV

, The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2020, Pages: 1-42, ISSN: 1029-8479

The momentum-weighted sum of the electric charges of particles inside a jet, known as jet charge, is sensitive to the electric charge of the particle initiating the parton shower. This paper presents jet charge distributions in sNN−−−√ = 5.02 TeV lead-lead (PbPb) and proton-proton (pp) collisions recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. These data correspond to integrated luminosities of 404 μb−1 and 27.4 pb−1 for PbPb and pp collisions, respectively. Leveraging the sensitivity of the jet charge to fundamental differences in the electric charges of quarks and gluons, the jet charge distributions from simulated events are used as templates to extract the quark- and gluon-like jet fractions from data. The modification of these jet fractions is examined by comparing pp and PbPb data as a function of the overlap of the colliding Pb nuclei (centrality). This measurement tests the color charge dependence of jet energy loss due to interactions with the quark-gluon plasma. No significant modification between different centrality classes and with respect to pp results is observed in the extracted quark- and gluon-like jet fractions.

The production of isolated photons in PbPb and pp collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV

, The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2020, Pages: 1-39, ISSN: 1029-8479

The transverse energy (EγT) spectra of photons isolated from other particles are measured using proton-proton (pp) and lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at the LHC at sNN−−−√ = 5.02 TeV with integrated luminosities of 27.4 pb−1 and 404 μb−1 for pp and PbPb data, respectively. The results are presented for photons with 25 <EγT< 200 GeV in the pseudorapidity range |η| < 1.44, and for different centrality intervals for PbPb collisions. Photon production in PbPb collisions is consistent with that in pp collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions, demonstrating that photons do not interact with the quark-gluon plasma. Therefore, isolated photons can provide information about the initial energy of the associated parton in photon+jet measurements. The results are compared with predictions from the next-to-leading-order jetphox generator for different parton distribution functions (PDFs) and nuclear PDFs (nPDFs). The comparisons can help to constrain the nPDFs global fits.

Search for disappearing tracks in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

, Physics Letters B: Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics, Vol: 806, Pages: 1-27, ISSN: 0370-2693

A search is presented for long-lived charged particles that decay within the volume of the silicon tracker of the CMS experiment. Such particles can produce events with an isolated track that is missing hits in the outermost layers of the silicon tracker, and is also associated with little energy deposited in the calorimeters and no hits in the muon detectors. The search for events with this “disappearing track” signature is performed in a sample of proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 101 fb−1recorded in 2017 and 2018. The observation of 48 events is consistent with the estimated background of 47.8+2.7−2.3(stat)±8.1 (syst) events. Upper limits are set on chargino production in the context of an anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking model for purely wino and higgsino neutralino scenarios. At 95% confidence level, the first constraint is placed on chargino masses in the higgsino case, excluding below 750 (175) GeV for a lifetime of 3 (0.05) ns. In the wino case, the results of this search are combined with a previous CMS search to produce a result representing the complete LHC data set recorded in 2015–2018, the most stringent constraints to date. At 95% confidence level, chargino masses in the wino case are excluded below 884 (474) GeV for a lifetime of 3 (0.2) ns.

Projected sensitivity of the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment to the 0νββ decay of 136Xe

, Physical Review C, Vol: 102, Pages: 014602 – 1-014602 – 13, ISSN: 2469-9985

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment will enable a neutrinoless double β decay search in parallel to the main science goal of discovering dark matter particle interactions. We report the expected LZ sensitivity to 136Xe neutrinoless double β decay, taking advantage of the significant (>600 kg) 136Xe mass contained within the active volume of LZ without isotopic enrichment. After 1000 live-days, the median exclusion sensitivity to the half-life of 136Xe is projected to be 1.06×1026 years (90% confidence level), similar to existing constraints. We also report the expected sensitivity of a possible subsequent dedicated exposure using 90% enrichment with 136Xe at 1.06×1027 years.

Revised performance parameters of the ZEPLIN-III dark matter experiment

, Publisher: arXiv

This note presents revised detector parameters applicable to data from theFirst Science Run of the ZEPLIN-III dark matter experiment; these datasets wereacquired in 2008 and reanalised in 2011. This run demonstrated electron recoildiscrimination in liquid xenon at the level of 1 part in 10,000 below 40 keVnuclear recoil energy, at an electric field of 3.8 kV/cm; this remains the bestdiscrimination reported for this medium to date. Building on relevantmeasurements published in recent years, the calibration of the scintillationand ionisation responses for both electron and nuclear recoils, which had beenmapped linearly to Co-57 gamma-ray interactions, is converted here into opticalparameters which are better suited to relate the data to the emerging liquidxenon response models. Additional information is given on the fitting of theelectron and nuclear recoil populations at low energy. The aim of this note isto support the further development of these models with valuable data acquiredat high field.

Measurement of CP-averaged observables in the B-0 -> K-star 0 mu(+)mu(-) decay

, Physical Review Letters, Vol: 125, Pages: 011802 – 1-011802 – 13, ISSN: 0031-9007

An angular analysis of the B0→K*0(→K+π−)μ+μ− decay is presented using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb−1 of pp collision data collected with the LHCb experiment. The full set of CP-averaged observables are determined in bins of the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system. Contamination from decays with the K+π− system in an S-wave configuration is taken into account. The tension seen between the previous LHCb results and the standard model predictions persists with the new data. The precise value of the significance of this tension depends on the choice of theory nuisance parameters.

A method to determine the electric field of liquid argon time projection chambers using a UV laser system and its application in MicroBooNE

, Journal of Instrumentation, Vol: 15

Liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) are now a standard detector technology for making accelerator neutrino measurements, due to their high material density, precise tracking, and calorimetric capabilities. An electric field (E-field) is required in such detectors to drift ionization electrons to the anode where they are collected. The E-field of a TPC is often approximated to be uniform between the anode and the cathode planes. However, significant distortions can appear from effects such as mechanical deformations, electrode failures, or the accumulation of space charge generated by cosmic rays. The latter effect is particularly relevant for detectors placed near the Earth's surface and with large drift distances and long drift time. To determine the E-field in situ, an ultraviolet (UV) laser system is installed in the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The purpose of this system is to provide precise measurements of the E-field, and to make it possible to correct for 3D spatial distortions due to E-field non-uniformities. Here we describe the methodology developed for deriving spatial distortions, the drift velocity and the E-field from UV-laser measurements.

Measurement of the top quark forward-backward production asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric and chromomagnetic moments in in pp collisions at root s=13 TeV

, The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2020, Pages: 1-56, ISSN: 1029-8479

The parton-level top quark (t) forward-backward asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric (d^t) and chromomagnetic (μ^t) moments have been measured using LHC pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected in the CMS detector in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The linearized variable A(1)FB is used to approximate the asymmetry. Candidate tt¯ events decaying to a muon or electron and jets in final states with low and high Lorentz boosts are selected and reconstructed using a fit of the kinematic distributions of the decay products to those expected for tt¯ final states. The values found for the parameters are A(1)FB=0.048+0.095−0.087(stat)+0.020−0.029(syst),μ^t=−0.024+0.013−0.009(stat)+0.016−0.011(syst), and a limit is placed on the magnitude of ∣∣d^t∣∣< 0.03 at 95% confidence level.

Observation of a new baryon state in the Lambda(0)(b)pi(+)pi(-) mass spectrum

, The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2020, ISSN: 1029-8479

A new baryon state is observed in the Λ0bπ+π− mass spectrum with high significance using a data sample of pp collisions, collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies s√= 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. The mass and natural width of the new state are measured to bem=6072.3±2.9±0.6±0.2 MeV,Γ=72±11±2 MeV,where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The third uncertainty for the mass is due to imprecise knowledge of the Λ0bbaryon mass. The new state is consistent with the first radial excitation of the Λ0b baryon, the Λb(2S)0 resonance. Updated measurements of the masses and the upper limits on the natural widths of the previously observed Λb(5912)0 and Λb(5920)0 states are also reported.

Search for the lepton flavour violating decay B+ -> K+mu(-)tau(+) using Bs20 decays

, The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2020, Pages: 1-19, ISSN: 1029-8479

A search is presented for the lepton flavour violating decay B+ → K+μ−τ+ using a sample of proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. The τ leptons are selected inclusively, primarily via decays with a single charged particle. The four-momentum of the τ lepton is determined by using B+ mesons from B∗0s2→B+K− decays. No significant excess is observed, and an upper limit is set on the branching fractionℬ(B+ → K+μ−τ+) < 3.9 × 10−5 at 90 % confidence level.The obtained limit is comparable to the world-best limit.

Strange hadron production in pp and pPb collisions at root(NN)-N-s=5.02 TeV

, Physical Review C: Nuclear Physics, Vol: 101, Pages: 064906 – 1-064906 – 21, ISSN: 0556-2813

The transverse momentum (pT) distributions of Λ, Ξ−, and Ω− baryons, their antiparticles, and K0S mesons are measured in proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (pPb) collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV over a broad rapidity range. The data, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 40.2 nb−1 and 15.6 μb−1 for pp and pPb collisions, respectively, were collected by the CMS experiment. The nuclear modification factor RpPb, which is defined as the ratio of the particle yield in pPb collisions and a scaled pp reference, is measured for each particle. A strong dependence on particle species is observed in the pT range from 2 to 7 GeV, where RpPb for K0S is consistent with unity, while an enhancement ordered by strangeness content and/or particle mass is observed for the three baryons. In pPb collisions, the strange hadron production is asymmetric about the nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass rapidity. Enhancements, which depend on the particle type, are observed in the direction of the Pb beam. The results are compared with predictions from epos lhc, which includes parametrized radial flow. The model is in qualitative agreement with the RpPb data, but fails to describe the dependence on particle species in the yield asymmetries measured away from midrapidity in pPb collisions.

Measurement of the Lambda(0)(b) -> J/psi Lambda angular distribution and the Lambda(0)(b) polarisation in pp collisions

, The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2020, Pages: 1-30, ISSN: 1029-8479

This paper presents an analysis of the Λ0b→ J/ψΛ angular distribution and the transverse production polarisation of Λ0b baryons in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The measurements are performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb−1, collected with the LHCb experiment. The polarisation is determined in a fiducial region of Λ0b transverse momentum and pseudorapidity of 1 < pT< 20 GeV/c and 2 < η < 5, respectively. The data are consistent with Λ0b baryons being produced unpolarised in this region. The parity-violating asymmetry parameter of the Λ → pπ− decay is also determined from the data and its value is found to be consistent with a recent measurement by the BES III collaboration.

Simultaneous measurement of the muon neutrino charged-current cross section on oxygen and carbon without pions in the final state at T2K

, Physical Review D: Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, Vol: 101, Pages: 112004 – 1-112004 – 32, ISSN: 1550-2368

This paper reports the first simultaneous measurement of the double differential muon neutrino charged-current cross section on oxygen and carbon without pions in the final state as a function of the outgoing muon kinematics, made at the ND280 off-axis near detector of the T2K experiment. The ratio of the oxygen and carbon cross sections is also provided to help validate various models’ ability to extrapolate between carbon and oxygen nuclear targets, as is required in T2K oscillation analyses. The data are taken using a neutrino beam with an energy spectrum peaked at 0.6 GeV. The extracted measurement is compared with the prediction from different Monte Carlo neutrino-nucleus interaction event generators, showing particular model separation for very forward-going muons. Overall, of the models tested, the result is best described using local Fermi gas descriptions of the nuclear ground state with RPA suppression.

Simulations of Events for the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Dark Matter Experiment

, Astroparticle Physics, ISSN: 0927-6505

The LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter search aims to achieve a sensitivity to theWIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross-section down to (1-2) $\times$ $10^{-12}$pb at a WIMP mass of 40 GeV/$c^2$. This paper describes the simulationsframework that, along with radioactivity measurements, was used to support thisprojection, and also to provide mock data for validating reconstruction andanalysis software. Of particular note are the event generators, which allow usto model the background radiation, and the detector response physics used inthe production of raw signals, which can be converted into digitized waveformssimilar to data from the operational detector. Inclusion of the detectorresponse allows us to process simulated data using the same analysis routinesas developed to process the experimental data.

Mixed higher-order anisotropic flow and nonlinear response coefficients of charged particles in PbPb collisions at s NN =2.76 and 5.02TeV

, European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, Vol: 80, ISSN: 1124-1861

Anisotropies in the initial energy density distribution of the quark-gluon plasma created in high energy heavy ion collisions lead to anisotropies in the azimuthal distributions of the final-state particles known as collective anisotropic flow. Fourier harmonic decomposition is used to quantify these anisotropies. The higher-order harmonics can be induced by the same order anisotropies (linear response) or by the combined influence of several lower order anisotropies (nonlinear response) in the initial state. The mixed higher-order anisotropic flow and nonlinear response coefficients of charged particles are measured as functions of transverse momentum and centrality in PbPb collisions at nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies s NN = 2.76 and 5.02 TeV with the CMS detector. The results are compared with viscous hydrodynamic calculations using several different initial conditions, as well as microscopic transport model calculations. None of the models provides a simultaneous description of the mixed higher-order flow harmonics and nonlinear response coefficients.

Search for dijet resonances using events with three jets in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

, PHYSICS LETTERS B, Vol: 805, Pages: 1-23, ISSN: 0370-2693

A search for a narrow resonance with a mass between 350 and 700 GeV, and decaying into a pair of jets, is performed using proton-proton collision events containing at least three jets. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 18.3 fb−1 recorded at with the CMS detector. Data are collected with a technique known as “data scouting”, in which the events are reconstructed, selected, and recorded at a high rate in a compact form by the high-level trigger. The three-jet final state provides sensitivity to lower resonance masses than in previous searches using the data scouting technique. The spectrum of the dijet invariant mass, calculated from the two jets with the largest transverse momenta in the event, is used to search for a resonance. No significant excess over a smoothly falling background is found. Limits at 95% confidence level are set on the production cross section of a narrow dijet resonance and compared with the cross section of a vector dark matter mediator coupling to dark matter particles and quarks. Translating to a model where the narrow resonance interacts only with quarks, upper limits on this coupling range between 0.10 and 0.15, depending on the resonance mass. These results represent the most stringent upper limits in the mass range between 350 and 450 GeV obtained with a flavor-inclusive dijet resonance search.

A measurement of the Higgs boson mass in the diphoton decay channel

, Physics Letters B: Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics, Vol: 805, Pages: 1-25, ISSN: 0370-2693

A measurement of the mass of the Higgs boson in the diphoton decay channel is presented. This analysis is based on 35.9 fb−1of proton-proton collision data collected during the 2016 LHC running period, with the CMS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. A refined detector calibration and new analysis techniques have been used to improve the precision of this measurement. The Higgs boson mass is measured to be mH=125.78 ±0.26 GeV. This is combined with a measurement of mHalready performed in the H→ZZ→4 decay channel using the same data set, giving mH=125.46 ±0.16 GeV. This result, when further combined with an earlier measurement of mHusing data collected in 2011 and 2012 with the CMS detector, gives a value for the Higgs boson mass of mH=125.38 ±0.14 GeV. This is currently the most precise measurement of the mass of the Higgs boson.
