Evidence for the spin-0 nature of the Higgs boson using ATLAS data

Studies of the spin and parity quantum numbers of the Higgs boson are presented, based on proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The Standard Model spin-parity J P =0 + hypothesis is compared with alternative hypotheses using the Higgs boson decays H→γγ, H→ZZ * →4...

description Studies of the spin and parity quantum numbers of the Higgs boson are presented, based on proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The Standard Model spin-parity J P =0 + hypothesis is compared with alternative hypotheses using the Higgs boson decays H→γγ, H→ZZ * →4ℓ and H→WW * →ℓνℓν, as well as the combination of these channels. The analysed dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb -1 collected at a centre-of-mass energy of s=8TeV.
