Searches for the Standard Model Higgs Boson at CMS

Understand

We searched for the standard model Higgs boson in many different channels using approximately 5 fb-1 of 7 TeV pp collisions data collected with the CMS detector at LHC.

• Combining the results of the different searches we exclude at 95% confidence level a standard model Higgs boson with mass between 127.5 and 600 GeV.
• The expected 95% confidence level exclusion if the Higgs boson is not present is from 114.5 and 543 GeV.
• The observed exclusion is weaker than expected at low mass because of some excess that is observed below about 128 GeV.
