abstract

Three searches are presented for signatures of physics beyond the standard model (SM) in $\tau\tau$ final states in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, using a data sample collected with the CMS detector at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. Upper limits at 95% confidence level (CL) are set on the products of the branching fraction for the decay into $\tau$ leptons and the cross sections for the production of a new boson $\phi$, in addition to the H(125) boson, via gluon fusion (gg$\phi$) or in association with b quarks, ranging from $\mathcal{O}$(10 pb) for a mass of 60 GeV to 0.3 fb for a mass of 3.5 TeV each. The data reveal two excesses for gg$\phi$ production with local $p$-values equivalent to about three standard deviations at $m_\phi$ = 0.1 and 1.2 TeV. In a search for $t$-channel exchange of a vector leptoquark U$_1$, 95% CL upper limits are set on the dimensionless U$_1$ leptoquark coupling to quarks and $\tau$ leptons ranging from 1 for a mass of 1 TeV to 6 for a mass of 5 TeV, depending on the scenario. In the interpretations of the $M_\mathrm{h}^{125}$ and $M_\mathrm{h, EFT}^{125}$ minimal supersymmetric SM benchmark scenarios, additional Higgs bosons with masses below 350 GeV are excluded at 95% CL.

  1. The 95 GeV Excess in Models with Two Higgs Doublets plus One Singlet: Model Distinction via Four-top Final States and Triple Higgs Couplings

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using the 95 GeV excess benchmarks, four-top production at HL-LHC and di-Higgs production at ILC500 can distinguish the N2HDM from the 2HDMS for pseudoscalar-mixing angles beyond a computed 'α4 limit'.

  2. Matter Unification and Lepton Flavour Violation

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Muon-to-electron conversion at Mu2e can probe quark–lepton unification scales up to ~10^4 TeV in the minimal SU(4)_C×SU(2)_L×U(1)_R model, even where rare kaon decays are suppressed by unknown mixing angles.

  3. 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.

  4. Quark-universal $U(1)$ breaking scalar at the LHC

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a quark-universal U(1)_B model, the scalar φ that breaks the symmetry can be discovered first through its diphoton decay, and its rate can explain the 95 GeV diphoton excess.

  5. Deconstructing resonant Higgs pair production at the LHC: effects of coloured and neutral scalars in the NMSSM test case

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the NMSSM, interference between heavy Higgs resonances, SM top loops and stop loops can strongly distort the di-Higgs invariant mass spectrum, and a diagram-by-diagram decomposition makes these distortions interpretable.
