Description
Since the discovery of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations in protonproton collisions at the CERN LHC in Run 1 (2010-12), the focus has shifted from observation to precision measurements of its properties in Run 2 (2015-18). From precise measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson such as its width, couplings and cross-sections we can probe their consistency with the predictions from the Standard Model. Any deviation would indicate potential new physics. In this talk, the latest results on the properties of the Higgs boson, from the CMS collaboration, are presented. In particular, the recent measurement of the mass of the Higgs boson, currently the most precise one, will be discussed.
