Search for an exotic decay of the Higgs boson to a pair of light pseudoscalars in the final state of two muons and two τ leptons in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
A search for exotic Higgs boson decays to light pseudoscalars in the final state of two muons and two τ leptons is performed using proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9...

| Summary: | A search for exotic Higgs boson decays to light pseudoscalars in the final
state of two muons and two τ leptons is performed using proton-proton collision data
recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2016,
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1
. Masses of the pseudoscalar boson
between 15.0 and 62.5 GeV are probed, and no significant excess of data is observed above
the prediction of the standard model. Upper limits are set on the branching fraction of
the Higgs boson to two light pseudoscalar bosons in different types of two-Higgs-doublet
models extended with a complex scalar singlet. |
