Abstract

Techniques and results of the re-discovery analysis of standard model Higgs boson decaying to two photons are presented. The analysis is performed on 2016 data at 13 TeV centre of mass energy corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.9 \(\mathrm{fb}^{-1}\) taken by the CMS detector in LHC experiment. The central value of mass distribution of the standard model Higgs boson at the Run 1 ATLAS\(+\)CMS combined result was m(Higgs) \(=\) 125.09 GeV. At this mass point, with the data taken by CMS in 2016, 6.2\( \sigma \) significance is expected where the observed significance is 5.6 \(\sigma \). At 126.0 GeV the maximum significance of 6.1 \(\sigma \) is observed.
