abstract = {A search is presented for a standard model-like Higgs boson decaying to the µ+µ- or e+e- final states based on proton–proton collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of 5.0 fb-1 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7TeV and 19.7 fb-1 at 8 TeV for the µ+µ-search, and of 19.7fb-1 at 8 TeV for the e+e-search. Upper limits on the production cross section times branching fraction at the 95% confidence level are reported for Higgs boson masses in the range from 120 to 150 GeV. For a Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV decaying to µ+µ-, the observed (expected) upper limit on the production rate is found to be 7.4 (6.5+2.8-1.9) times the standard model value. This corresponds to an upper limit on the branching fraction of 0.0016. Similarly, for e+e-, an upper limit of 0.0019 is placed on the branching fraction, which is ˜3.7 ×105 times the standard model value. These results, together with recent evidence of the 125GeV boson coupling to t-leptons with a larger branching fraction consistent with the standard model, confirm that the leptonic couplings of the new boson are not flavour-universal.},
