Sumario: | We searched for the standard model Higgs boson
in 11 different decay channels using approximately 5 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of 7
TeV pp collisions data collected with the CMS detector at LHC.
Combining the results we exclude at 95\%
confidence level the standard model Higgs boson with a mass between 127.5
and 600 GeV. The expected 95\% confidence level exclusion if the Higgs
boson is not present is from 114.5 and 543 GeV. The observed exclusion
is weaker than expected at low mass because of some excess of events
observed in the data. The most significant excess is found at
125 GeV with a local significance of $2.8 \sigma$, a global
significance of $0.8 \sigma$ in the full search range and
of $2.1 \sigma$ in the range 110--145 GeV. The excess is
consistent both with background fluctuation and a standard model Higgs
boson with mass of about 125 GeV. More data are needed to
investigate its origin. |
