@misc{10481/96070, year = {2015}, month = {7}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10481/96070}, abstract = {A search for high-mass resonances decaying into + − final states using protonproton collisions at √s = 8TeV produced by the Large Hadron Collider is presented. The data were recorded with the ATLAS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.5–20.3 fb−1. No statistically significant excess above the Standard Model expectation is observed; 95% credibility upper limits are set on the cross section times branching fraction of Z0 resonances decaying into τ+τ− pairs as a function of the resonance mass. As a result, Z0 bosons of the Sequential Standard Model with masses less than 2.02TeV are excluded at 95% credibility. The impact of the fermionic couplings on the Z0 acceptance is investigated and limits are also placed on a Z0 model that exhibits enhanced couplings to third-generation fermions.}, organization = {CERN for the very successful operation of the LHC}, organization = {ANPCyT, Argentina}, organization = {YerPhI, Armenia}, organization = {ARC, Australia}, organization = {BMWFW and FWF, Austria}, organization = {ANAS, Azerbaijan}, organization = {SSTC, Belarus}, organization = {CNPq and FAPESP, Brazil}, organization = {NSERC, NRC and CFI, Canada}, organization = {CERN}, organization = {CONICYT, Chile}, organization = {CAS, MOST and NSFC, China}, organization = {COLCIENCIAS, Colombia}, organization = {MSMT CR, MPO CR and VSC CR, Czech Republic}, organization = {DNRF, DNSRC and Lundbeck Foundation, Denmark}, organization = {EPLANET, ERC and NSRF, European Union}, organization = {IN2P3-CNRS, CEA-DSM/IRFU, France}, organization = {GNSF, Georgia}, organization = {BMBF, DFG, HGF, MPG and AvH Foundation, Germany}, organization = {GSRT and NSRF, Greece}, organization = {RGC, Hong Kong SAR, China}, organization = {ISF, MINERVA, GIF, I-CORE and Benoziyo Center, Israel}, organization = {INFN, Italy}, organization = {MEXT and JSPS, Japan}, organization = {CNRST, Morocco}, organization = {FOM and NWO, Netherlands}, organization = {BRF and RCN, Norway}, organization = {MNiSW and NCN, Poland}, organization = {GRICES and FCT, Portugal}, organization = {MNE/IFA, Romania}, organization = {MES of Russia and NRC KI, Russian Federation}, organization = {JINR}, organization = {MSTD, Serbia}, organization = {MSSR, Slovakia}, organization = {ARRS and MIZˇS, Slovenia}, organization = {DST/NRF, South Africa}, organization = {MINECO, Spain}, organization = {SRC and Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden}, organization = {SER, SNSF and Cantons of Bern and Geneva, Switzerland}, organization = {NSC, Taiwan; TAEK, Turkey}, organization = {STFC, the Royal Society and Leverhulme Trust, United Kingdom}, organization = {DOE and NSF, United States of America}, organization = {Crucial computing support from all WLCG partners}, publisher = {Springer}, keywords = {Hadron-Hadron Scattering}, title = {A search for high-mass resonances decaying to τ+τ− in pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector}, doi = {10.1007/JHEP07(2015)157}, author = {Aad, G. and Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio and Atlas Collaboration, /}, }
