${{\mathit H}}$ SIGNAL STRENGTHS IN DIFFERENT CHANNELS

The ${{\mathit H}}$ signal strength in a particular final state ${{\mathit x}}{{\mathit x}}$ is given by the cross section times branching ratio in this channel normalized to the Standard Model (SM) value, $\sigma $ $\cdot{}$ B(${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit x}}{{\mathit x}}$) $/$ ($\sigma $ $\cdot{}$ B(${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit x}}{{\mathit x}}))_{{\mathrm {SM}}}$, for the specified mass value of ${{\mathit H}}$. For the SM predictions, see DITTMAIER 2011, DITTMAIER 2012, and HEINEMEYER 2013A. Results for fiducial and differential cross sections are also listed below.

1  HAYRAPETYAN 2026 search for ${{\mathit t}}{{\overline{\mathit t}}}{{\mathit H}}$, ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit c}}{{\overline{\mathit c}}}$ together with the ${{\mathit t}}{{\overline{\mathit t}}}{{\mathit H}}$, ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit b}}{{\overline{\mathit b}}}$ measurement using 138 fb${}^{-1}$ of ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collision data at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 13 TeV. The quoted limit corresponds to $\sigma _{{{\mathit t}} {{\overline{\mathit t}}} {{\mathit H}}}\cdot{}B({{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit c}}{{\overline{\mathit c}}}$) $<$ $0.11$ pb at 95$\%$ CL.
2  AAD 2025Y present measurements of ${{\mathit V}}{{\mathit H}}$, ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit b}}{{\overline{\mathit b}}}$ and ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit c}}{{\overline{\mathit c}}}$ (${{\mathit V}}$ = ${{\mathit W}}$ , ${{\mathit Z}}$) using 140 fb${}^{-1}$ of ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collision data at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 13 TeV. Two-dimensional likelihood scan of (${{\mathit \mu}^{bb}_{VH}}$, ${{\mathit \mu}^{cc}_{VH}}$) is shown in their Fig. 11.
3  TUMASYAN 2023AD search for Higgs produced with transverse momenta greater than 450 GeV and decaying to ${{\mathit c}}{{\overline{\mathit c}}}$ using 138 fb${}^{-1}$ of ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collision data at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 13 TeV.
4  TUMASYAN 2023AH search for ${{\mathit V}}{{\mathit H}}$, ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit c}}{{\overline{\mathit c}}}$ (${{\mathit V}}$ = ${{\mathit W}}$ , ${{\mathit Z}}$) using 138 fb${}^{-1}$ of ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collision data at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 13 TeV. The upper limit on ${\mathit \sigma (}{{\mathit p}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit V}}{{\mathit H}}{)}\cdot{}B({{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit c}}{{\overline{\mathit c}}}$) is 0.94 pb at 95$\%$ CL. See their Fig. 4. The quoted values are given for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}}}$ = 125.38 GeV.
5  AAD 2022W search for ${{\mathit V}}{{\mathit H}}$, ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit c}}{{\overline{\mathit c}}}$ (${{\mathit V}}$ = ${{\mathit W}}$ , ${{\mathit Z}}$) using 139 fb${}^{-1}$ of ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collision data at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 13 TeV. The results are given for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}}}$ = 125 GeV.
6  The analysis of ${{\mathit V}}{{\mathit H}}$, ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit c}}{{\overline{\mathit c}}}$ is combined with ${{\mathit V}}{{\mathit H}}$, ${{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit b}}{{\overline{\mathit b}}}$ (AAD 2021AB). The ratio $\vert {{\mathit \kappa}_{{{c}}}}/{{\mathit \kappa}_{{{b}}}}\vert $ is constrained to be less than 4.5 at 95$\%$ CL. See their Fig. 7.
7  The constraint on the charm Yukawa coupling modifier ${{\mathit \kappa}_{{{c}}}}$ is measured to be $\vert {{\mathit \kappa}_{{{c}}}}\vert $ $<$8.5 at 95$\%$ CL. See their Fig. 4.
8  SIRUNYAN 2020AE use 35.9 fb${}^{-1}$ at of ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 13 TeV. The measured best fit value of ${\mathit \sigma (}{{\mathit p}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit V}}{{\mathit H}}{)}\cdot{}B({{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit c}}{{\overline{\mathit c}}}$) is $2.40$ ${}^{+1.12}_{-1.11}{}^{+0.65}_{-0.61}$ pb (equivalent to $<$ 4.5 pb at 95$\%$ CL upper limit, i.e. 70 times the standard model), where ${{\mathit V}}$ is ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \nu}}$, ${{\mathit Z}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \ell}}$, or ${{\mathit Z}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}}{{\mathit \nu}}$ (${{\mathit \ell}}$ = ${{\mathit e}}$ , ${{\mathit \mu}}$). The quoted values are given for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}}}$ = 125 GeV.
9  AABOUD 2018M use 36.1 fb${}^{-1}$ at of ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ collisions at $\mathit E_{{\mathrm {cm}}}$ = 13 TeV. The upper limit on ${\mathit \sigma (}{{\mathit p}}$ ${{\mathit p}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit Z}}{{\mathit H}}{)}\cdot{}B({{\mathit H}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit c}}{{\overline{\mathit c}}}$) is 2.7 pb at 95$\%$ CL. This corresponds to 110 times the standard model. The quoted values are given for ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}}}$ = 125 GeV.
