Search for the Higgs boson decaying to two muons in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

A search for the Higgs boson decaying to two oppositely charged muons is presented using data recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy s=13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1. Data are found to be compatible with the predicted backgro...
