| Abstract | The overall combination is presented of six standard model (SM) Higgs boson searches performed by the CMS Collaboration using the following Higgs boson decay signatures: HtogammagammaH \to \gamma\gammaHtogammagamma, HtotautauH \to \tau\tauHtotautau, HtoWWto2ell2nuH \to WW \to 2\ell 2\nuHtoWWto2ell2nu, HtoZZto4ellH \to ZZ \to 4\ellHtoZZto4ell, HtoZZto2ell2nuH \to ZZ \to 2\ell 2\nuHtoZZto2ell2nu, and HtoZZto2ell2qH \to ZZ \to 2\ell 2qHtoZZto2ell2q. Depending on the analysis, the amount of data used corresponds to 1.0-1.1~fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. The conclusion of this combination is that the SM Higgs boson is excluded at 95\% C.L. in two mass ranges 149-206 and 300-440~GeV/$c^2$, as well as several narrower intervals in between. The expected exclusion in the absence of a signal is 127-420~GeV/$c^2$. At 90\% C.L., we exclude the SM Higgs boson in the mass range from 145-480~GeV/$c^2$. The same experimental search results, reinterpreted in the context of the standard model with 4 fermion generations (SM4), allow us to exclude the SM4 Higgs boson with a mass in the range 120-600 GeV/$c^2$ at 95\% C.L. |
