The search uses data from proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 132 fb$^{-1}$. The analysis probes pseudoscalar bosons with masses in the range 15-62 GeV, coming from the Higgs boson decay, which leads to four well-isolated photons in the final state. No significant deviation from the background-only hypothesis is observed. Upper limits are set on the product of the Higgs boson production cross section and branching fraction into four photons. The observed (expected) limits range from 0.80 (1.00) fb for a pseudoscalar boson mass of 15 GeV to 0.26 (0.24) fb for a mass of 62 GeV at 95% confidence level. 000483141 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-611$$a611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF4-611)$$cPOF4-611$$fPOF IV$$x0 000483141 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)2019_IVF-HIDSS-0002$$aHIDSS-0002 - DASHH: Data Science in Hamburg - Helmholtz Graduate School for the Structure of Matter (2019_IVF-HIDSS-0002)$$c2019_IVF-HIDSS-0002$$x1 000483141 588__ $$aDataset connected to INSPIRE 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$ap p: colliding beams 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$adecay: exotic 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$ap p: scattering 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$aboson: mass 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$aHiggs particle: hadroproduction 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$aHiggs particle: decay modes 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$aHiggs particle: rare decay 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$aphoton 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$amass: pseudoscalar 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$aHiggs particle: branching ratio 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$achannel cross section: branching ratio: upper limit 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$amass dependence 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$aCERN LHC Coll 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$aCMS 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$aexperimental results 000483141 650_7 $$2INSPIRE$$a13000 GeV-cms 000483141 693__ $$0EXP:(DE-H253)LHC-Exp-CMS-20150101$$1EXP:(DE-588)4398783-7$$5EXP:(DE-H253)LHC-Exp-CMS-20150101$$aLHC$$eLHC: CMS$$x0 000483141 8564_ $$uhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2208.01469 000483141 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/483141/files/2208.01469.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000483141 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/483141/files/2208.01469.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000483141 909CO $$ooai:bib-pubdb1.desy.de:483141$$popenaire$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access 000483141 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2008985-5$$6P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDeutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron$$b0$$kDESY 000483141 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-611$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-610$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lMatter and the Universe$$vFundamental Particles and Forces$$x0 000483141 9141_ $$y2022 000483141 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000483141 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000483141 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0580$$2StatID$$aPublished 000483141 9201_ $$0I:(DE-H253)CMS-20120731$$kCMS$$lLHC/CMS Experiment$$x0 000483141 980__ $$apreprint 000483141 980__ $$aVDB 000483141 980__ $$aI:(DE-H253)CMS-20120731 000483141 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000483141 9801_ $$aFullTexts
