Observation of the higgs boson decay to a pair of τ leptons with the CMS detector

A measurement of the H → ττ signal strength is performed using events recorded in proton–proton collisions by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The H → ττ signal is established with a sign...
