Abstract:

Abstract A search for a pair of low-mass pseudoscalars a that promptly decay into τ -leptons is presented using 140 fb − 1 of proton–proton collision data at 13 TeV centre-of-mass energy recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The result is used to place constraints on exotic decays of the Higgs boson into four τ -leptons, H → a a → τ + τ − τ + τ − . This search focuses on events with either one or two τ -leptons decaying into hadrons and neutrinos, and the remaining three or two τ -leptons decaying into either electron or muon and neutrinos. No significant excess is observed above the expected Standard Model background and upper limits at the 95% confidence level on B ( H → a a → τ + τ − τ + τ − ) are set ranging from 0.06 to 0.23, depending on the mass m a ranging from 15 to 60 GeV.
