Abstract

A comprehensive set of studies has been conducted to measure the fiducial differential cross sections of Higgs boson production by the ATLAS and CMS experiments. These analyses are based on proton-proton collision data collected by both experiments at the CERN LHC, with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of up to 140 fb$^{-1}$. Fiducial Differential cross sections are measured for various observables sensitive to the production and decay of the Higgs boson. All measurements align with Standard Model predictions. The results are used to constrain potential anomalous interactions between the Higgs boson and other Standard Model particles.
