Given Ω ⊂ R 3 an open bounded set with smooth boundary ∂Ω and H ∈ R, we prove the existence of embedded H-surfaces supported by ∂Ω, that is regular surfaces in R 3 with constant mean curvature H at every point, contained in Ω and with boundary intersecting ∂Ω orthogonally. More precisely, we prove that if Q ∈ ∂Ω is a stable stationary point for the mean curvature of ∂Ω, then there exists a family of embedded 1 ε -surfaces near Q, ε > 0 small, which, once dilated by a factor 1 ε and suitably translated, converges to a hemisphere of radius 1 as ε → 0.
