Measurements of cross sections and differential distributions for Higgs boson production in the diphoton decay channel. The data is based on 20.3 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The work is authored by G. Aad and associated with the ATLAS experiment.
Use Cases
- Validate theoretical predictions for Higgs boson production based on measured cross sections.
- Study differential distributions to probe Higgs boson couplings and potential new physics.
- Calibrate Monte Carlo simulation models for the diphoton decay channel based on collision data.
- Perform statistical combination analyses with results from other Higgs boson decay channels.
Strengths
- Based on a specific and stated collision data volume of 20.3 inverse femtobarns.
- Provides both fiducial and differential cross sections, offering detailed kinematic information.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain statistical methods.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
