\Pg \to \PH}\xspace}$ and VBF processes are used together with the samples of the [$\mathrm{V} \PH$]{}and [$\PQt \PAQt \PH$]{}processes to model the SM signal acceptance in the fiducial phase space and to extract the results of the fiducial cross section measurements following the method described in Section \[sec:Methodology\]. These samples, together with the <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">HRes</span> and <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">Powheg MiNLO HJ</span> samples of the alternative description of the ${\ensuremath{\Pg \Pg \to \PH}\xspace}$ process, are used to compare the measurement results to the SM-based theoretical calculations in Section \[sec:Results\].

In order to estimate the dependence of the measurement procedure on the underlying assumption for the Higgs boson production mechanism, we have used the set of MC samples for individual production mechanisms described in the previous paragraph. In addition, in order to estimate the dependence of the measurement on different assumptions of the Higgs boson properties, we have also simulated a range of samples that describe the production and decay of exotic Higgs-like resonances to the four-lepton final state. These include spin-zero, spin-one, and spin-two resonances with anomalous interactions with a pair of neutral gauge bosons ($ \PZ \PZ$, $ \PZ \gamma^{*}$, $\gamma^{*}\gamma^{*}$) described by higher-order operators, as discussed in detail in Ref.
