A combination of searches for the invisible decays of the Higgs boson using the CMS detector

Searches for invisible decays of the Higgs boson using Run 1 proton-proton collision data from the CMS experiment at the LHC are combined. The searches cover a wide range of Higgs boson production modes namely gluon fusion, vector boson fusion and vector boson associated production. The data samples used were collected in 2011 and 2012 and correspond to integrated luminosities of up to 4.9 fb$^{-1}$ at 7 TeV and up to 19.7 fb$^{-1}$ at 8 TeV. Data, in all channels, are consistent with the expected standard model backgrounds. Assuming standard model Higgs boson cross sections and corresponding detector acceptances, limits are set on the invisible branching fraction for each production mode separately and for the full combination of all channels. From the combination of all channels, we set an observed (expected) upper limit on the invisible branching fraction for $m_{H}$ = 125 GeV to be 36\% (30\%) at 95\% confidence level.
