| Abstract: A search for heavy neutral gauge bosons (Z') decaying to two tau leptons is performed in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV at the CERN LHC. The data were collected with the CMS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $. The yields of candidate events are found to be consistent with the predictions from standard model processes. Limits on the production cross section times branching fraction of the Z' as a function of the Z' mass are set at the 95% confidence level. For a narrow resonance in the sequential standard model scenario, a Z' with mass below 3.5 TeV is excluded. This is the most stringent limit to date from this type of search. | ||
