abstract

A new algorithm is presented to discriminate reconstructed hadronic decays of tau leptons ($\tau_\mathrm{h}$) that originate from genuine tau leptons in the CMS detector against $\tau_\mathrm{h}$ candidates that originate from quark or gluon jets, electrons, or muons. The algorithm inputs information from all reconstructed particles in the vicinity of a $\tau_\mathrm{h}$ candidate and employs a deep neural network with convolutional layers to efficiently process the inputs. This algorithm leads to a significantly improved performance compared with the previously used one. For example, the efficiency for a genuine $\tau_\mathrm{h}$ to pass the discriminator against jets increases by 10-30% for a given efficiency for quark and gluon jets. Furthermore, a more efficient $\tau_\mathrm{h}$ reconstruction is introduced that incorporates additional hadronic decay modes. The superior performance of the new algorithm to discriminate against jets, electrons, and muons and the improved $\tau_\mathrm{h}$ reconstruction method are validated with LHC proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV.

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    No significant excess is observed in the four-prong large-radius jet + MET signature; 95% CL upper limits are set on the signal strength versus mediator mass or χ₂χ₁Y₀ coupling.

    No excess is observed in resonant Higgs pair production in the bb tau tau final state; 95% CL limits are set on spin-0 and spin-2 resonance cross sections from 1 to 4.5 TeV.

  4. Search for the nonresonant and resonant production of a Higgs boson in association with an additional scalar boson in the $\gamma\gamma\tau\tau$ final state in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2025-06 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    CMS finds no evidence for Higgs-pair or new-scalar production in the two-photon plus two-tau final state and sets new upper limits on these processes.

    hep-ex 2026-01 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    No long-lived staus are observed; CMS excludes stau masses up to 425 GeV at 50 mm lifetime (mass-degenerate) and decay lengths 21-94 mm / 6-333 mm at 200 GeV.

  6. Search for dark matter produced in association with a Higgs boson decaying to bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-01 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    A CMS search with 138 fb^-1 of 13 TeV data finds no dark matter produced with a Higgs boson decaying to bottom quarks, and sets 95% CL exclusions on Z' and 2HDM+a model parameters.

    hep-ex 2026-01 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    In 138 fb^-1 of 13 TeV proton collisions, CMS measures the boosted VH, H->bb signal strength as mu=0.72^{+0.75}_{-0.71}, consistent with the Standard Model.
