Measurement of H → τhadτhad at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS Experiment — •Timo Dreyer, Stan Lai, and Michel Janus — Georg-August-Universität Göttingen
The H→ττ process is currently the only observed leptonic decay channel of the Higgs boson at the LHC. The ATLAS experiment performed a cut based analysis in this decay channel on 36.1 fb−1 of data collected in 2015 and 2016 at √s=13 TeV, measuring the cross section times branching ratio for pp → H → ττ.
The process is divided in sub-channels according to the decay of the τ-leptons into lighter leptons or hadrons. The Higgs production cross sections for the gluon gluon fusion and vector boson fusion production modes are extracted from a maximum likelihood fit to data on the distribution of the reconstructed mass mττ from the two τ-leptons.
This talk will discuss the recently published ATLAS results with a focus on the di-hadronic sub-channel and give an outlook for the analysis on the full 13 TeV dataset
