Good material description verified with in situ measurements Then, an η dependent correction is applied. It is obtained from a global fit to Z ee data.

18 Background modeling Differences between the true background shape and the exponential model would bias the fitted signal strength and the test statistic. Background underestimation induces fake excesses and prevents limit setting. Background overestimation masks out-going excesses and induces fake limits. Possible bias estimation: It has been estimated by using MC Resbos samples (including photon efficiency effects). The possible bias is also cross-checked fitting the data sample with functions with more degrees of freedom than the single exponential. They are estimated to be ±(.1-7.9) events depending on the category. It is taken into account in a conservative way: Add a systematic uncertainty to the background model. Include a term in the likelihood function that allows a signal-like component in the background. Its normalization is left floating and is gaussian constrained to this uncertainty in each category. 18

Cross-checked on data with Z llγ (l = e,μ) Dominant uncertainty on the mass resolution. Determined on data with Z ee and J/Psi ee events. Uncertainty on the Higgs mass position due to the imperfect knowledge on the photon energy scale. From PDFs and scale variations in HqT From uncertainty on the amount of material in front of the calorimeter The systematic uncertainties are taken into account by introducing nuisance parameters with constraints in the likelihood function. All the systematic uncertainties are treated as fully correlated between the nine categories, except for the background uncertainty. 19
20 Results The largest excess is observed at 16.5 GeV: Local significance of.8σ, Global significance of 1.5σ (probability to observe a background fluctuation equivalent or larger anywhere in the explored mass range 15 GeV) Signal strength μ ~ σsm, considering the uncertainty, it is still compatible with the SM prediction.

22 Conclusions and Outlook Using a nine category analysis, taking into account the conversion status and η position of photons, and the p of the diphoton pair. H γγ alone starts setting exclusion limits with 95% CL: GeV and GeV. An excess is observed at 16.5 GeV, with.8σ of local significance and 1.5σ of global significance, compatible with a SM Higgs boson. With the data expected to be collected in 1 at 8 TeV (15- fb ), this channel will have the sensitivity to exclude or observe a SM Higgs boson at low mass.
