The search is based upon proton-proton collision data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 5.1 fb$^{−1}$ at $ \sqrt{s}=7 $ TeV and up to 19.7fb$^{−1}$ at $ \sqrt{s}=8 $ TeV, recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. Several final states of the H → WW and H → ZZ decays are analyzed. The combined upper limit at the 95% confidence level on the product of the cross section and branching fraction exclude a Higgs boson with standard model-like couplings and decays in the range 145 < m$_{H}$ < 1000 GeV. We also interpret the results in the context of an electroweak singlet extension of the standard model.engSearch for a Higgs boson in the mass range from 145 to 1000 GeV decaying to a pair of W or Z bosonsjournal article2019-02-04
