Abstract

The precision of the yield measurement of the Higgs boson decaying into a pair of ZZ bosons process at the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is evaluated. Including the recoil ZZ boson associated with the Higgs production (Higgsstrahlung) total three ZZ bosons are involved for this channel, from which final states characterized by the presence of a pair of leptons, quarks, and neutrinos are chosen for the signal. Two analysis approaches are compared and the final precision of σZH{\sigma}_{\mathrm{ZH}}{\cdot}BR(HZZH \rightarrow ZZ^{*}) is estimated to be 7.9% using a multivariate analysis technique, based on boosted decision trees. The relative precision of the Higgs boson width, using this HZZH \rightarrow ZZ^{*} decay topology, is estimated by combining the obtained result with the precision of the inclusive \textit{ZH} cross section measurement.
