A search for invisible decays of the Higgs boson produced via vector fusion (VBF) has been performed with 101 fb$^{-1}$ proton-proton collisions delivered by LHC at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV and collected CMS detector in 2017 2018. The sensitivity to VBF production mechanism is enhanced constructing two analysis categories, one based on missing transverse momentum, a second properties jets. In addition control regions Z W candidate events, highly populated region, photon association jets, used...
