The search is performed with a proton-proton collision data set at a center-of-mass energy of 13 $\\mathrm{TeV}$ collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 $\\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. No excess is observed for the Higgs boson. The observed (expected) upper limit on the $e^{\\pm}\\mu^{\\mp}$ branching fraction for it is determined to be $4.4\\ (4.7)\\times10^{-5}$ at 95% confidence level, the most stringent limit set thus far from direct searches. The largest excess of events over the expected background in the full mass range of the search is observed at an $e^{\\pm}\\mu^{\\mp}$ invariant mass of approximately 146 $\\mathrm{GeV}$ with a local (global) significance of 3.8 (2.8) standard deviations.","hasPart":[{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.139722.v1/t1","@type":"Dataset","description":"Observed (expected) 95% confidence level
