Description
The current status and future prospects for SM Higgs boson searches in the H → ZZ(∗) → 4e (e = e, µ) channel with the CMS detector are presented. The whole analysis strategy for rejecting the backgrounds while keeping very high signal efficiencies is discussed, with a particular emphasis on the usage of data-driven techniques and on the estimation of systematic uncertainties. Preliminary results from analyses on the real data collected so far are also shown.
