| Abstract: A search is presented for massive narrow-width resonances in the mass range of 1 $ \text{-} $ 4.5 TeV decaying into pairs of Higgs bosons (HH), using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC during the 2016 $ \text{-} $ 2018 data-taking. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $. The analysis targets final states where one Higgs boson decays into a pair of bottom quarks and the other into a pair of tau leptons, $ \mathrm{X}\rightarrow\mathrm{HH}\rightarrow \mathrm{b}\bar{\mathrm{b}} \tau^{+}\tau^{-} $. The observed data are found to be consistent with standard model background expectations. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the production cross section for resonant HH production for masses between 1 and 4.5 TeV. This analysis sets the most sensitive LHC limits to date on $ \mathrm{X}\rightarrow\mathrm{HH}\rightarrow \mathrm{b}\bar{\mathrm{b}} \tau^{+}\tau^{-} $ decays in the mass range of 1.4 to 4.5 TeV. | ||
