| Measurement of Higgs boson production and decay to the $\tau\tau$ final state | ||
| CMS Collaboration | ||
| March 2019 | ||
| Abstract: A measurement of the inclusive cross section $\sigma_{\text{incl}}$ for the production of a Higgs boson decaying into a pair of tau leptons, $\text{H}\to\tau\tau$, is presented. The measurement is based on pp collision data collected by the CMS experiment in 2016 and 2017 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 77.4 fb$^{-1}$ at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. A value of $\sigma_{\text{incl}}\,\mathcal{B}(\text{H} \rightarrow \tau\tau)=$ 2.56 $\pm$ 0.48 (stat) $\pm$ 0.34 (syst) pb is obtained. Results are also presented in terms of cross sections for individual production modes and kinematic regimes. | ||

Table 1:
Background processes contributing to the event selection as given in Section 5. The further splitting of the processes in the second column refers only to final states that contain a $\tau _{\text {h}} $ candidate. "MC'' implies that the process is taken from simulation, $ {F_{\text {F}}}$ that the process is determined from data using the $ {F_{\text {F}}}$ method as described in Ref. [12]. "EMB'' implies that the process is estimated from the $\tau $-embedding technique as described in Ref. [11], "CR'' that both shape and normalization of QCD multijet events are estimated from control regions in data. The label $\ell $ corresponds to an electron or muon. |

Table 2:
Kinematic selection of the $\tau $ decay products in the $\mathrm{e} \mu $, $\mathrm{e} \tau _{\text {h}} $, $\mu \tau _{\text {h}} $, and $\tau _{\text {h}} \tau _{\text {h}} $ final states. The expression "First (Second) object'' refers to the final state label used in the first column. In the $\mathrm{e} \tau _{\text {h}} $ ($\mu \tau _{\text {h}} $) final state the values in braces correspond to the thresholds used when the event has been selected by an $\mathrm{e} \tau _{\text {h}} $ ($\mu \tau _{\text {h}} $) trigger. The upper (lower) values correspond to the thresholds used on the 2016 (2017) dataset. |

Table 3:
Processes and event classes/categories for each $\tau \tau $ final state. The values given in braces for each event class correspond to the positive predictive value of the classification task after training, on the 2017 dataset. All event classes (labelled below ggH, qqH, ztt, qcd, tt, misc, zll, wj, db, st) enter the training with the same statistical weight (i.e. with uniform prevalence). |

Table 4:
Parameters selected for the NN classification task used for the event categorization in each final state. The checkmarks (dashes) indicate that the variable was (not) used for the corresponding final state. The first (second) entry per column corresponds to the choice for the 2016 (2017) dataset. |

Table 5:
Observed number of selected events ($ {N_{\text {data}}}$) and the relative contribution of the expected processes in all event categories in the $\mathrm{e} \mu $ and $\mathrm{e} \tau _{\text {h}} $ final states on the 2017 dataset. The relative contribution of the expected processes is given in $%$, and prior to the fit used for the signal extraction. In the $\mathrm{e} \tau _{\text {h}} $ final state, processes in which a jet is misidentified as a $\tau _{\text {h}} $ decay are subsumed into a common $ {\text {jet}\to \tau _{\text {h}}}$ background class, which is estimated from data. The $ {\mathrm {V}}\mathrm{H} $ with leptonic $ {\mathrm {V}}$ decay and ${{\mathrm{t} \mathrm{t} \mathrm{H}}}$ production modes are omitted from the table due to their low expected event yields of $\leq 1$ event. |
| Summary |
| Measurements of the product of the cross section for the production of the Higgs boson and the branching fraction for its subsequent decay into tau leptons have been presented. The measurements are based on the data collected with the CMS experiment, during the years 2016 and 2017. They amount to a luminosity of 77.4 fb$^{-1}$ at a center-of-mass energy of the pp collisions of 13 TeV. The product of the inclusive Higgs boson production with the branching fraction into tau leptons is measured to be $\sigma_{\text{incl}}\,\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{H}\to\tau\tau)=$ 2.56 $\pm$ 0.48 (stat) $\pm$ 0.34 (syst) pb. When split by the ggH, bbH and VBF production modes these cross sections are found to be $\sigma({{{\mathrm{g}\mathrm{g}\to\mathrm{H},\mathrm{b}\mathrm{b}\mathrm{H}}}})\,\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{H}\to\tau\tau)=$ 1.11 $\pm$ 0.81 (stat) $\pm$ 0.78 (syst) pb and $\sigma(\text{VBF+V(qq)H})\,\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{H}\to\tau\tau)=$ 0.34 $\pm$ 0.08 (stat) $\pm$ 0.09 (syst) pb. In addition the kinematic properties of the production have been investigated in terms of simplified template cross sections. |
