Search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to two photons with CMS at the LHC

The search for the Higgs boson is presented on 10.4 fb−1 of data recorded with CMS at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during proton-proton interaction runs at √s = 7 and 8 TeV. The search is performed in the mass range between 110 and 150 GeV and limits are set on the cross section in the context of...
