The coupling of the Higgs boson to tau leptons is one of the most precise measured couplings of the Higgs boson to fermions. A measurement of the production cross sections of the Higgs boson into two tau leptons is presented.
The cross section is measured in the gluon-fusion, vector-boson-fusion, boson associated, and top-quark pair associated production channels. The result is shown in the context of Simplified Template Cross Sections.
The study illustrates the technique for the Higgs boson mass reconstruction (Missing Mass Calculator, MMC). The analysis uses proton-proton collision data recorded during Run 2 at a center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC.
