Results are compatible with Standard Model predictions.

First measurement of Higgs with high transverse momentum decaying to b-bbar.

Measurements in various production modes confirm existing theories.

Abstract

Recent measurements of Higgs boson cross-section and properties are presented using up to $139~\text{fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider at $\sqrt{s}~=~13~\text{TeV}$ and recorded by the ATLAS and CMS detectors. Three measurements are discussed. The first is the measurement of Higgs boson production with sizeable transverse momentum decaying to a $b\bar{b}$ pair. The remaining two measurements exploit the $H \rightarrow WW^*$ decay channel in various production modes: gluon fusion, vector boson fusion, and production in association with a $W$ or $Z$ boson. The results presented are compatible with Standard Model predictions.
