Unfolding the Higgs: Differential cross section measurements of Higgs Boson production through gluon fusion in the $H\rightarrow WW^{*}\rightarrow e\nu\mu\nu$ final state

With the pp collision dataset of 139 $fb^{-1}$ collected at 13 TeV, detailed measurements of Higgs boson properties can be performed. The Higgs kinematic properties can be measured with increasing granularity, and interpreted to constrain beyond-the-Standard-Model phenomena. This thesis presents the...

Sumario:With the pp collision dataset of 139 $fb^{-1}$ collected at 13 TeV, detailed measurements of Higgs boson properties can be performed. The Higgs kinematic properties can be measured with increasing granularity, and interpreted to constrain beyond-the-Standard-Model phenomena. This thesis presents the measurements of Higgs boson differential cross sections in the channel where Higgs boson is produced via gluon–gluon fusion with at most one additional jet and decays to two W bosons which further decay leptonically. All the differential cross sections measurements are found to be consistent with Standard Model expectations, derived using different Monte Carlo generators.
