Descripción
A search for neutral Higgs bosons predicted in the minimal
supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) for
μ+μ- decay channels is presented. The
analysis uses data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in
proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV,
corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5.1 and 19.3
fb-1, respectively. The search is sensitive to Higgs bosons
produced either through the gluon fusion process or in association with
a b b ‾ quark pair. No statistically significant excess is
observed in the μ+μ- mass spectrum. Results
are interpreted in the framework of several benchmark scenarios, and the
data are used to set an upper limit on the MSSM parameter tan
β as a function of the mass of the pseudoscalar A boson in the
range from 115 to 300 GeV. Model independent upper limits are given for
the product of the cross section and branching fraction for gluon fusion
and b quark associated production at √{ s} = 8 TeV. They are
the most stringent limits obtained to date in this channel.
