Measurement of the H→ WW^* → ℓ ν ℓ′ ν′ process at √s = 13   TeV with the ATLAS detector — •Ralf Gugel and Karsten Köneke — Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg

The H→ WW^*→ ℓ ν ℓ′ν′ decay channel allowed for the most precise measurement of the Higgs-boson signal strength in analyses of data collected during the first data-taking period of the LHC. The production modes with the highest cross section, and the best experimental sensitivity in this decay channel are gluon fusion and vector-boson fusion. In this talk an overview will be given summarizing the latest results from the ATLAS Collaboration based on data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Special emphasis will be placed on the final signal extraction techniques.
