Differential cross sections of the Higgs boson measured in the diphoton decay channel using 8 TeV pp collisions

This note presents differential cross section measurements of the Higgs boson, performed in the diphoton decay channel. The dataset used corresponds to $20.3\text{ fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV, produced by the LHC and collected by the ATLAS detector in 2012. With its high signal selection efficiency the diphoton decay channel is well suited to probe the underlying kinematic properties of the signal production and decay. Measurements for several diphoton and jet distributions are made for isolated photons within the geometric acceptance of the detector and they are corrected for experimental acceptance and resolution. Results are compared to theoretical predictions at the particle level.
