Analysis strategy for the SM Higgs boson search in the four-lepton final state in CMS

The current status of the searches for the SM Higgs boson in the H→ZZ(*)→4ℓ decay channel with the CMS experiment [1] is presented. The selection cuts for suppressing the backgrounds while keeping very high signal efficiencies are described, along with the data-driven algorithms implemented to estim...
