Abstract

A search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to W+W− in pp collisions at&#13;\n√&#13;\ns = 7 TeV is&#13;\nreported. The data are collected at the LHC with the CMS detector, and correspond to an integrated&#13;\nluminosity of 4.6 fb−1. The W+W− candidates are selected in events with two charged leptons and&#13;\nlarge missing transverse energy. No significant excess of events above the standard model background&#13;\nexpectations is observed, and upper limits on the Higgs boson production relative to the standard model&#13;\nHiggs expectation are derived. The standard model Higgs boson is excluded in the mass range 129–&#13;\n270 GeV at 95% confidence level.
