Description
A search for a standard model-like Higgs dimuon boson decay is presented based
on proton-proton collision data at the centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The
data samples, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, correspond to integrated
luminosities of 5.0 +/- 0.1 1/fb at 7 TeV and 19.7 +/- 0.5 1/fb at 8 TeV. To enhance
the sensitivity of the search, events are categorised by topologies corresponding to
different production processes and dimuon invariant mass resolutions. Upper limits
on the production cross section at the 95% confidence level are reported for Higgs
boson masses in the range from 120 to 150 GeV. A search for Higgs boson decays
in the rare e+e− mode is also reported.
