Measurement of the Z/γ[superscript ∗]→ττ Cross Section in Pp Collisions at √s = 13 TeV and Validation of τ Lepton Analysis Techniques

A measurement is presented of the Z γ[superscript ∗] → ττ cross section in pp collisions at √s = 13TeV, using data recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb[superscript -1]. The product of the inclusive cross section and branching fraction is meas...
