Abstract
A measurement of the Higgs boson mass and width via its decay to two Z bosons is presented. Proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is used. The invariant mass distribution of four leptons in the on-shell Higgs boson decay is used to measure its mass and contrain its width. This yields the most precise single measurement of the Higgs boson mass to date, 125.04 $\pm$ 0.12 GeV, and an upper limit on the width $\Gamma_\mathrm{H}$$\lt$ 330 MeV at 95% confidence level. A combination of the on- and off-shell Higgs boson production decaying to four leptons is used to determine the Higgs boson width, assuming that no new virtual particles affect the production, a premise that is tested by adding new heavy particles in the gluon fusion loop model. This result is combined with a previous CMS analysis of the off-shell Higgs boson production with decay to two leptons and two neutrinos, giving a measured Higgs boson width of 3.0$^{+2.0}_{-1.5}$ MeV, in agreement with the standard model prediction of 4.1 MeV. The strength of the off-shell Higgs boson production is also reported. The scenario of no off-shell Higgs boson production is excluded at a confidence level corresponding to 3.8 standard deviations.
