Measurement of Higgs bosons decaying to Tau lepton pairs and Constraints on Anomalous HVV couplings.

ORAL

Abstract

An investigation in measuring anomalous HVV couplings using matrix element techniques is conducted on 2016 and 2017 data taken with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 77.7 fb-1 . In addition, a standard model Higgs decay to tau leptons measurement is highlighted. Of interest is the performance of machine learning and matrix element methods (MELA) in the categorization and classification of optimal discrimination observables to probe HVV couplings in this decay channel.
