Higgs cross sections for LHC

Python tool for easy access/interpolation of the values of LHC Higgs cross-sections and branching ratios. The data is taken from HXSWG page

Using

To obtain the tool just clone it from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/KKostya/LHCHiggsXS.git

Then in python:

import LHCHiggsXS as xs

print "M = 125 Glu-Glu Higgs production cross-section:"
print "At sqrt(s) = 8TeV", xs.EightTeV(125)['ggh']['xsec']
print "At sqrt(s) = 7TeV", xs.SevenTeV(125)['ggh']['xsec']

print "Corresponding pdf+alphas uncertaities:"
print "At sqrt(s) = 8TeV", xs.EightTeV(125)['ggh']['pdf']
print "At sqrt(s) = 7TeV", xs.SevenTeV(125)['ggh']['pdf']

print "M = 230 Higgs branching to ZZ:" , xs.Br(230)['hzz']['br']
print "Interpolated value for M = 642:", xs.Br(642)['hzz']['br']
