Search for a high mass SM-like Higgs boson at CMS in the H- gt ZZ- gt llqq decay channel in CMS

A search for a high mass standard-model-like Higgs boson decaying into two Z bosons with subsequent decay into two leptons and two quarks performed at CMS is presented. The analysis is based on 19.7 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions produced in LHC at $\sqrt{s}=$~8~TeV. Different categories are exploited in order to isolate hypothetical Higgs boson-like signals in the mass range up to 1~TeV. The data are interpreted in terms of a standard-model-like Higgs boson as well as an electroweak singlet, visible through the interference with the 125~GeV Higgs boson. No evidence of a signal is found and upper limits are set on the production cross section and other model parameters.
