Abstract

CERN-LHC. A measurement is presented of differential cross sections for the Higgs boson (H) production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV. The analysis exploits the H $\to γ γ$ decay in data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The cross section is measured as a function of the kinematic properties of the diphoton system and of the associated jets. Results corrected for detector effects are compared with predictions at next-to-leading order and next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics, as well as with predictions beyond the standard model. For isolated photons with pseudorapidities |$η$| 1/3 and > 1/4, the total fiducial cross section is 32 $±$ 10 fb. ; Other ; Values of the pp $\to$ H $\to γγ$ differential cross sections as a function of $p_\rm{T}^\rm{j1}$ as measured in data. For each observable the fit to $m_{γγ}$ is performed simultaneously in all the bins. Since the signal mass is profiled for each observable, the best fit $\hat{m}_{\rm{H}}$ varies from observable to observable.
