Abstract: A search for resonant Higgs boson pair production in proton-proton collisions in the $\mathrm{b\overline{b}}\tau^+\tau^-$ final state is presented. The search assumes the existence of a new heavy scalar boson H, which decays into a pair of the known h bosons. The search for $\mathrm{pp} \to \mathrm{H} \to \mathrm{hh} \to \mathrm{b\overline{b}}\tau^+\tau^-$ is performed using three $\tau\tau$ final states, $\mathrm{e} \tau_{h}$ , $\mu\tau_{h}$ , and $\tau_{h}\tau_{h}$ , where $\tau_{h}$ indicates a $\tau$ lepton decaying into hadrons. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2015 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.7 fb $^{-1}$ .
