Search for a fermiophobic Higgs boson in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV
CMS Collaboration
TL;DR
This paper reports the search for a fermiophobic Higgs boson in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV, excluding certain mass ranges with high confidence based on decay mode analyses.
Contribution
First comprehensive search for a fermiophobic Higgs boson at 7 TeV, combining multiple decay channels and setting exclusion limits across a broad mass range.
Findings
Excluded Higgs mass range 110-194 GeV at 95% CL
Excluded specific subranges at 99% CL
Analyzed gamma-gamma, WW, ZZ decay modes
Abstract
Combined results are reported from searches for a fermiophobic Higgs boson in the gamma-gamma, WW, and ZZ decay modes in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The explored Higgs boson mass range is 110-300 GeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.9-5.1 inverse femtobarns. A fermiophobic Higgs boson is excluded at 95% confidence level in the mass range 110-194 GeV, and at 99% confidence level in the mass ranges 110-124.5 GeV, 127-147.5 GeV, and 155-180 GeV.
