This result combines searches in four exclusive categories targeting the production of the Higgs boson via gluon fusion, via vector boson fusion, in association with a vector boson, and in association with a top quark-antiquark pair. The analysis is performed using proton-proton collision data at $sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 $fb^{ ? 1}$ , recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. An excess of events over the background expectation is observed in data with a ... |
