Search for an explanation to the muon anomalous magnetic moment through the non-resonant production of two additional Higgs bosons
Abstract: A search is presented for the production of two additional Higgs bosons from an off-shell Z boson, where both additional particles decay to $ \tau $ lepton pairs. This is performed with a data sample collected with the CMS detector from proton-proton collisions at the LHC at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $. This is motivated by the Type X ("lepton-specific") two Higgs doublet model which could explain the tension between the experimental and theoretical values of the muon anomalous magnetic moment. No deviation away from the standard model background is observed. Exclusion contours are placed on the Type X two Higgs doublet model alignment scenario, and the model as an explanation for the muon anomalous magnetic moment measurements is ruled out.
