Sumario:Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, measurements of the decay rates and couplings have become paramount to an understanding of the new boson and its role in electroweak symmetry breaking and the mechanism of fermion mass generation. Despite the small branching ratio, the diphoton decay channel is a particularly attractive method to study these properties thanks to the clean signal peak and novel analysis strategy. This poster will present the latest 13 TeV measurements on the signal strengths (and their ratios) from various Higgs production modes in the diphoton decay channel. The measurements are further extended to include cross-section measurements in theory motivated kinematic regions as defined by the Simplified Template Cross-Section framework.
