Description

The production of four isolated charged leptons (electrons or muons) constitute a clean signature in proton-proton collisions provided by the Large Hadron Collider. A heavy scalar, H, with a mass around 270 GeV is considered as a scenario for the anomalous production of for leptons. The heavy scalar can decay directly into four leptons via the decay into two Z bosons. Another option is the decay of H into the Higgs boson and an intermediate scalar, S. The latter is assumed to have a relatively large branching fraction into leptons. The phenomenology and the status of the blinded data analysis will be summarized.
