Description

In this poster a search for a high-mass Higgs boson in the H-->WW-->lvlv decay channel is presented. The search is using pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 13.2 fb-1 collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No evidence of a high-mass Higgs boson is found. Upper limits on HxBR(H-->WW) as a function of the Higgs boson mass and width are obtained in the mass range between 300 GeV and 3 TeV.
