Spin and Parity Measurements of the Higgs-Like Boson in the $H \to ZZ \to 4l$ Channel at CMS

The most recent CMS results are presented for an analysis of the spin and parity of the Higgs-like boson near 126 GeV in the ZZ decay channel where the Z bosons decay into two muons or electrons. The analysis utilizes the full dataset recorded by CMS of 5.1 fb 1 and 19.6 fb 1 of pp collisions at center-of-mass energies of p s = 7 and 8 TeV respectively. The Standard Model prediction is compared against six alternate J P hypotheses. In all cases, the data favor the Standard Model prediction
