CMS-PHO-EVENTS-2012-005-1  -  Small, Medium, Large, Original
Figure 1. Event recorded with the CMS detector in 2012 at a proton-proton centre of mass energy of 8 TeV. The event shows characteristics expected from the decay of the SM Higgs boson to a pair of photons (dashed yellow lines and green towers). The event could also be due to known standard model background processes.

Figure 2. Event recorded with the CMS detector in 2012 at a proton-proton centre of mass energy of 8 TeV. The event shows characteristics expected from the decay of the SM Higgs boson to a pair of Z bosons, one of which subsequently decays to a pair of electrons (green lines and green towers) and the other Z decays to a pair of muons (red lines). The event could also be due to known standard model background processes.

Figure 3. Di-photon (γγ ) invariant mass distribution for the CMS data of 2011 and 2012 (black points with error bars). The data are weighted by the signal to background ratio for each sub-category of events. The solid red line shows the fit result for signal plus background; the dashed red line shows only the background.

Figure 4. Distribution of the four-lepton reconstructed mass for the sum of the 4e, 4μ, and 2e2μ channels. Points represent the data, shaded histograms represent the background and un-shaded histogram the signal expectations. The distributions are presented as stacked histograms. The measurements are presented for the sum of the data collected at centre of mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV.

Figure 5. The observed probability (local p-value) that the background-only hypothesis would yield the same or more events as are seen in the CMS data, as a function of the SM Higgs boson mass for the five channels considered. The solid black line shows the combined local p-value for all channels.
