Description

A search for a Standard Model-like Higgs boson decaying into the $\rm W^+W^-$ final state is performed with an integrated luminosity of 19.3$\rm fb^{-1}$ of pp collisions data recorded with the CMS detector at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV. The search is performed in the semileptonic channel in the high mass region 600 $< m_H <$ 1000 GeV, where the hadronically decaying W boson is highly boosted and its decay products are contained in one jet. Jet substructure techniques are used in identifying the hadronically decaying W. No evidence for an SM-like Higgs boson has been found in the investigated mass region.
