Search for a heavy pseudoscalar Higgs boson decaying into a 125 GeV Higgs boson and a Z boson in final states of two light leptons and two tau leptons at $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV
Abstract: A search is performed for a pseudoscalar Higgs boson, A, decaying into a standard model-like Higgs boson h and a Z boson. The standard model-like Higgs boson is specifically targeted in its decay into a pair of tau leptons, while the Z boson decays leptonically. A data sample of proton-proton collisions collected at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC is used, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. In the absence of observing the signal, model-independent and model-dependent limits are set. The model-dependent limits are set in two minimal supersymmetric standard model benchmark scenarios in the $m_{\mathrm{A}}$-$\tan\beta$ plane.
