Measurements of the production cross-sections of a Higgs boson in association with a vector boson and decaying into $W W^{*}$ with the ATLAS detector at $s = 13$ TeV

Abstract

Measurements of the total and differential Higgs boson production cross-sections, via $W H$ and $Z H$ associated production using $H \to W W^{*} \to ℓ ν ℓ ν$ and $H \to W W^{*} \to ℓ ν j j$ decays, are presented. The analysis uses proton-proton events delivered by the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector between 2015 and 2018. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb $^{- 1}$ . The sum of the $W H$ and $Z H$ cross-sections times the $H \to W W^{*}$ branching fraction is measured to be $0.4 4_{- 0.09}^{+ 0.10}$ (stat.) $_{- 0.05}^{+ 0.06}$ (syst.) pb, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction. Higgs boson production is further characterised through measurements of the differential cross-section as a function of the transverse momentum of the vector boson and in the framework of Simplified Template Cross-Sections.
