Description
Higgs boson production via gluon-gluon fusion in proton-proton collisions is measured in the H→WW∗→eνμν decay channel. The utilized dataset is the √s=13 TeV proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1. The total cross section for Higgs boson production by gluon-gluon fusion times the H→WW∗ branching ratio is measured to be 12.0±1.4 pb, in agreement with the Standard Model predictions of 10.4±0.6 pb. Higgs boson production is further characterized through measurements of Simplified Template Cross Sections in a total of 6 kinematical fiducial regions for the considered mode.
