Abstract

Higgs boson production cross-sections in proton–proton collisions are measured in the H → W W ⁎ → e ν μ ν decay channel. The proton–proton collision data were produced at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2015 and 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb − 1 . The product of the H → W W ⁎ branching fraction times the gluon–gluon fusion and vector-boson fusion cross-sections are measured to be 11.4 − 1.1 + 1.2 ( stat . ) − 1.7 + 1.8 ( syst . ) pb and 0.50 − 0.22 + 0.24 ( stat . ) ± 0.17 ( syst . ) pb , respectively, in agreement with Standard Model predictions.
