@article{10902/32575, year = {2023}, month = {9}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10902/32575}, abstract = {We present the first direct search for exotic Higgs boson decays H → A, A → γγ in events with two photonlike objects. The hypothetical particle A is a low-mass spin-0 particle decaying promptly to a merged diphoton reconstructed as a single photonlike object. We analyze the data collected by the CMS experiment at √s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 136 fb−¹. No excess above the estimated background is found. We set upper limits on the branching fraction B(H → AA → 4γ) of (0.9–3.3) × 10−³ at 95% confidence level for masses of A in the range 0.1–1.2 GeV.}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, publisher = {Physical Review Letters, 2023, 131(10), 101801}, title = {Search for exotic Higgs boson decays H -> AA -> 4γ with events containing two merged diphotons in proton-proton collisions at √s= 13 TeV}, author = {Tumasyan, A. and Brochero Cifuentes, Javier Andrés and Cabrillo Bartolomé, José Iban and Calderón Tazón, Alicia and Duarte Campderros, Jorge and Fernández García, Marcos and Fernández Madrazo, Celia and García Alonso, Andrea and Gómez Gramuglio, Gervasio and Lasaosa García, Clara and Martínez Rivero, Celso and Martínez Ruiz del Árbol, Pablo and Matorras Weinig, Francisco and Matorras Cuevas, Pablo and Piedra Gómez, Jonatan and Prieëls, Cedric and Ruiz Jimeno, Alberto and Scodellaro, Luca and Vila Álvarez, Iván and Vizán García, Jesús Manuel}, }
