Sumario: | Measurements of W$\gamma$, Z$\gamma$ and WW production in proton-proton
collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$~TeV are presented, together with searches for the
Higgs boson. The results are based on a data sample corresponding to an
integrated luminosity of 36~pb$^{-1}$ recorded by the CMS experiment. In the
W$\gamma$, Z$\gamma$ and WW cross sections measurements the electron and muon
decay channels of the W and Z are used. A search for the Higgs boson is
performed in the fully leptonic WW final state, not revealing any evidence of
excess above backgrounds. Limits are set on the production of the Higgs boson in
the context of the SM and in the presence of a sequential fourth family of
fermions with high masses. A MSSM Higgs boson search is perforfmed in the tau
pairs decay. No excess is observed in the tau-pair invariant mass spectrum. |
