${{\mathit H}}$ SIGNAL STRENGTHS IN DIFFERENT CHANNELS

The ${{\mathit H}}$ signal strength in a particular final state ${{\mathit x}}{{\mathit x}}$ is given by the cross section times branching ratio in this channel normalized to the Standard Model (SM) value, $\sigma $ $\cdot{}$ B(${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit x}}{{\mathit x}}$) $/$ ($\sigma $ $\cdot{}$ B(${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit x}}{{\mathit x}}))_{{\mathrm {SM}}}$, for the specified mass value of ${{\mathit H}}$. For the SM predictions, see DITTMAIER 2011, DITTMAIER 2012, and HEINEMEYER 2013A. Results for fiducial and differential cross sections are also listed below.

1  AAD 2024D report combined results of ATLAS (AAD 2020AG) and CMS (TUMASYAN 2023F). The reported signal strength corresponds to a significance of 3.4 $\sigma $.
2  TUMASYAN 2023F search for ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$, ${{\mathit Z}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit e}}$ , ${{\mathit \mu}}{{\mathit \mu}}$ in 138 fb${}^{-1}$ of ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 13 TeV, assuming ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}}}$ = 125.38 GeV. ${\mathit \sigma (}{{\mathit p}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit H}}{)}\cdot{}B({{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$) is measured to be $0.21$ $\pm0.08$ pb. The ratio of branching fractions B(${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}}{{\mathit \gamma}})/B({{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \gamma}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$) is measured to be $1.5$ ${}^{+0.7}_{-0.6}$.
3  CMS 2022 report combined results (see their Extended Data Table 2) using up to 138 fb${}^{-1}$ of data at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 13 TeV, assuming ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}}}$ = 125.38 GeV. See their Fig. 2 right.
4  AAD 2020AG search for ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$, ${{\mathit Z}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit e}}$ , ${{\mathit \mu}}{{\mathit \mu}}$ in 139 fb${}^{-1}$ of ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 13 TeV. The signal strength is $2.0$ $\pm0.9$ ${}^{+0.4}_{-0.3}$ at ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}}}$ = 125.09 GeV, which corresponds to a significance of 2.2 $\sigma $. The upper limit of ${\mathit \sigma (}{{\mathit p}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit H}}{)}\cdot{}B({{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$) is 305 fb at 95$\%$ CL.
5  SIRUNYAN 2018DQ search for ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$, ${{\mathit Z}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit e}}$ , ${{\mathit \mu}}{{\mathit \mu}}$ in 35.9 fb${}^{-1}$ of ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 13 TeV. The quoted signal strength (see their Figs. 6 and 7) is given for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}}}$ = 125 GeV.
6  AABOUD 2017AW search for ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$, ${{\mathit Z}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit e}}$ , ${{\mathit \mu}}{{\mathit \mu}}$ in 36.1 fb${}^{-1}$ of ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 13 TeV. The quoted signal strength is given for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}}}$ = 125.09 GeV. The upper limit on the branching ratio of ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$ is 1.0$\%$ at 95$\%$ CL assuming the SM Higgs boson production.

The quoted signal strength is given for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}}}$ = 125.5 GeV.
8  CHATRCHYAN 2013BK search for ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \ell}}$ ${{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \gamma}}$ in 5.0 fb${}^{-1}$ of ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 7 TeV and 19.6 fb${}^{-1}$ at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 8 TeV. A limit on cross section times branching ratio which corresponds to ($4 - 25$) times the expected Standard Model cross section is given in the range ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}}}$ = $120 - 160$ GeV at 95$\%$ CL. The quoted limit is given for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}}}$ = 125 GeV, where 10 is expected for no signal.
