Sumario:Measurements of inclusive and differential fiducial cross-sections of the Higgs boson in the H -> ZZ* -> 4l decay channel are presented. The cross-sections are determined within a fiducial region of the ATLAS detector and corrected for detection efficiency and resolution effects. The differential measurements are performed in bins of the transverse momentum and the rapidity of the four-lepton system, the invariant mass of the two subleading leptons and the decay angle of the leading lepton pair in the four-lepton rest frame cosθ∗, as well as the number of jets and the transverse momentum of the leading jet. They are based on 20.3 fb-1 of pp collision data, produced at s√=8 TeV center-of-mass energy at the LHC and recorded by the ATLAS detector. The comparisons of the unfolded fiducial cross-sections with several SM theory predictions are presented. No significant deviations with any of the tested predictions are found.
