- 요약This thesis describes the search for rare Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson decays to longlived scalar bosons (Φ) decaying to photon pairs using data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The data were collected from 2016, 2017, and 2018 proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1 . Events are triggered using the leptonic decays of the Z boson produced in association with the SM Higgs boson. Although the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter has limited vertex reconstruction capabilities for photons, this analysis utilizes a novel reconstruction technique using kinematic constraints to calculate the displaced vertices of the diphotons. Signal is extracted using a counting-based maximumlikelihood approach in bins of the diphoton vertex Lxy and the invariant photon mass. Results are interpreted in terms of upper limits on branching ratios BR(H → ΦΦ) x BR(Φ → γ γ ) and in terms of the model-independent production cross section σ(Z + ΦΦ) x BR(Φ → γ γ ). No significant excess above SM expectation is observed.
