Search strategy for the Higgs boson in the ZZ$^(*)$ decay channel with the CMS experiment
A study of the sensitivity for the inclusive production of Standard Model Higgs bosons ${;\rm H};$ decaying in ZZ$^{;(*)};$ pairs is presented with the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC $pp$ collider at 14 TeV centre of mass energy, for the integrated luminosity of 1 fb$^{;-1};$. The analysis is performed for the leptonic decay channels ${;\rm H}; \rightarrow {;\rm Z};{;\rm Z};^{;(*)}; \rightarrow 4\ell$ with $\ell = e, \mu$ and for a mass $m_{;\rm H};$ in the range from $120$ to $250 \GeVcc$. Signal and background datasets obtained with a detailed Monte Carlo simulation of the detector response, including the limited inter-calibration and alignment precision expected at startup luminosities, are treated using a complete reconstruction chain. A simple $m_{;\rm H};$ independent sequence of cuts is established which provides a clean sample of $4\ell$ events while preserving the highest signal detection efficiency. A signal with a significance above 2 standard deviations is found unlikely for a Higgs boson with a mass $m_{;\rm H};$ lying anywhere in the mass range considered. In absence of significant deviations from background expectations, upper limits on the production cross-section of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson can be established. The limits extend beyond existing constraints.
