H to ZZ to 2l2nu

A search for the Higgs boson in pp collisions at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. The results are based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.6~fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the CMS experiment. The search is conducted in the decay channel $H \rightarrow ZZ \rightarrow 2l 2\nu$. No excess is observed. Limits are set on the production of the Higgs boson in the context of the Standard Model and in the presence of a sequential fourth family of fermions with high masses. The standard model Higgs is excluded in the mass range $340 - 375$~GeV/c$^{2}$ at 95\% percent confidence level.
