@misc{10481/66481, year = {2020}, month = {11}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10481/66481}, abstract = {In this paper, a new technique for reconstructing and identifying hadronically decaying τ+τ− pairs with a large Lorentz boost, referred to as the di-τ tagger, is developed and used for the first time in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. A benchmark di-τ tagging selection is employed in the search for resonant Higgs boson pair production, where one Higgs boson decays into a boosted bb¯¯ pair and the other into a boosted τ+τ− pair, with two hadronically decaying τ-leptons in the final state. Using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, the efficiency of the di-τ tagger is determined and the background with quark- or gluon-initiated jets misidentified as di-τ objects is estimated. The search for a heavy, narrow, scalar resonance produced via gluon-gluon fusion and decaying into two Higgs bosons is carried out in the mass range 1–3 TeV using the same dataset. No deviations from the Standard Model predictions are observed, and 95% confidence-level exclusion limits are set on this model.}, organization = {ANPCyT}, organization = {YerPhI, Armenia}, organization = {Australian Research Council}, organization = {BMWFW, Austria}, organization = {Austrian Science Fund (FWF)}, organization = {Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS)}, organization = {SSTC, Belarus}, organization = {National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq)}, organization = {Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP)}, organization = {Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)}, organization = {NRC, Canada}, organization = {Canada Foundation for Innovation}, organization = {CERN}, organization = {ANID, Chile}, organization = {Chinese Academy of Sciences}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Technology, China}, organization = {National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)}, organization = {Departamento Administrativo de Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacion Colciencias}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Youth & Sports - Czech Republic Czech Republic Government}, organization = {DNRF, Denmark}, organization = {Danish Natural Science Research Council}, organization = {Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)}, organization = {CEA-DRF/IRFU, France}, organization = {SRNSFG, Georgia}, organization = {Federal Ministry of Education & Research (BMBF)}, organization = {HGF, Germany}, organization = {Max Planck Society}, organization = {Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT}, organization = {RGC, China}, organization = {Hong Kong SAR, China}, organization = {Israel Science Foundation}, organization = {Benoziyo Center, Israel}, organization = {Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN)}, organization = {CNRST, Morocco}, organization = {Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) Netherlands Government}, organization = {RCN, Norway}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Poland}, organization = {NCN, Poland}, organization = {Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology}, organization = {MNE/IFA, Romania}, organization = {MES of Russia, Russia Federation}, organization = {NRC KI, Russia Federation}, organization = {JINR}, organization = {MESTD, Serbia}, organization = {MSSR, Slovakia}, organization = {Slovenian Research Agency - Slovenia}, organization = {MIZS, Slovenia}, organization = {DST/NRF, South Africa}, organization = {Spanish Government}, organization = {SRC, Sweden}, organization = {Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden}, organization = {SERI, Switzerland}, organization = {Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)}, organization = {Canton of Bern, Switzerland}, organization = {Canton of Geneva, Switzerland}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan}, organization = {Ministry of Energy & Natural Resources - Turkey}, organization = {UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC)}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT) Japan Society for the Promotion of Science}, organization = {United States Department of Energy (DOE)}, organization = {National Science Foundation (NSF)}, organization = {BCKDF, Canada}, organization = {CANARIE, Canada}, organization = {Compute Canada, Canada}, organization = {CRC, Canada}, organization = {European Union (EU) European Research Council (ERC)}, organization = {Horizon 2020, European Union}, organization = {COST, European Union}, organization = {French National Research Agency (ANR)}, organization = {German Research Foundation (DFG)}, organization = {Alexander von Humboldt Foundation}, organization = {Herakleitos programme - EU-ESF, Greece}, organization = {Thales programme - EU-ESF, Greece}, organization = {Aristeia programme - EU-ESF, Greece}, organization = {Greek NSRF, Greece}, organization = {BSF-NSF, Israel}, organization = {German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development}, organization = {La Caixa Banking Foundation, Spain}, organization = {CERCA Programme Generalitat de Catalunya, Spain}, organization = {PROMETEO Programme Generalitat Valenciana, Spain}, organization = {GenT Programme Generalitat Valenciana, Spain}, organization = {Goran Gustafssons Stiftelse, Sweden}, organization = {Royal Society of London}, organization = {Leverhulme Trust}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, keywords = {Beyond Standard Model}, keywords = {Hadron-Hadron scattering (experiments)}, keywords = {Higgs Physics}, keywords = {Tau physics}, title = {Reconstruction and identification of boosted di-τ systems in a search for Higgs boson pairs using 13 TeV proton-proton collision data in ATLAS}, doi = {10.1007/JHEP11(2020)163}, author = {Aaboud, M. and Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio and Atlas Collaboration}, }
