Fiducial and differential cross-section measurements for the vector-boson-fusion production of the Higgs boson in the H→WW*→eνμν decay channel at 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Abstract: The vector-boson production cross-section for the Higgs boson decay in the H→WW∗→eνμν channel is measured as a function of kinematic observables sensitive to the Higgs boson production and decay properties as well as integrated in a fiducial phase space. The analysis is performed using the proton--proton collision data collected by the ATLAS detector in Run 2 of the LHC at s√=13 TeV center-of-mass energy, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1. The opposite lepton flavor final state is studied by selecting an electron and a muon originating from a pair of W bosons and compatible with the Higgs boson decay. The data are corrected for the effects of detector inefficiency and resolution, and the measurements are compared with different state-of-the-art theoretical predictions. The differential cross-sections are used to constrain anomalous interactions described by dimension-six operators in an Effective Field Theory
