The observed dimuon invariant mass distribution is consistent with the Standard Model background-only hypothesis in the 120-150 GeV search range. For a Higgs boson with a mass of 125.5 GeV, the observed (expected) upper limit at the 95% confidence level is 7.0 (7.2) times the Standard Model expectation. This corresponds to an upper limit on the branching ratio BR(H → μ⁺μ⁻) of 1.5 x10⁻³.en-USCC BY 3.0 (Attribution)©2014 Elsievier B.V.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/MuonsHiggs bosonsVector boson fusionJets (Nuclear physics)TextAad, G., B.
