Measurement of the mass and natural width of the Higgs boson in the H to ZZ to 4l decay channel with the ATLAS detector

This thesis presents a measurement of the mass, natural width, and signal strength, defined as the yield normalized to the Standard Model prediction, of the Higgs boson in the \(H \rightarrow ZZ^{(*)} \rightarrow 4l\) decay channel using an approach which utilizes event-by-event detector response in...
