No evidence of a high-mass Higgs boson is found. Limits on sigma(H) x BR(H -> WW) as a function of the Higgs boson mass m(H) are determined in three different scenarios: one in which the heavy Higgs boson has a narrow width compared to the experimental resolution, one for a width increasing with the boson mass and modeled by the complex-pole scheme following the same behavior as in the Standard Model, and one for intermediate widths. The upper range of the search is m(H) = 1500 GeV for the narrow-width scenario and m(H) = 1000 GeV for the other two scenarios. The lower edge of the search range is 200{\{}300 GeV and depends on the analysis channel and search scenario. For each signal interpretation, individual and combined limits from the two WW decay channels are presented. At m(H) = 1500 GeV, the highest-mass point tested, sigma(H) x BR(H -> WW) for a narrow-width Higgs boson is constrained to be less than 22 fb and 6.6 fb at 95{\%} CL for the gluon fusion and vector-boson fusion production modes, respectively.", optnote="WOS:000370437200002", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2561), last updated on Thu, 28 Jul 2016 12:10:27 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP01(2016)032", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1509.00389", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP01(2016)032", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1509.00389", language="English" }
