| Search for 2HDM neutral Higgs bosons through the $\mathrm{H} \to \mathrm{Z}\mathrm{A} \to \ell^{+}\ell^{-}\mathrm{b}\overline{\mathrm{b}}$ process in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV | ||

| Abstract: This note reports on a search for an extended scalar sector of the standard model, where a new CP-even (odd) scalar decays to a Z boson and a lighter CP-odd (even) scalar, which further decays to $\mathrm{b}\overline{\mathrm{b}}$. The Z boson is reconstructed via its decays to leptons. The analysed data were recorded in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. Data and predictions from the standard model are in agreement within uncertainties. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the production cross section times branching ratio, with masses of the resonances ranging up to 1000 GeV. The results are interpreted in the context of the Two-Higgs Doublet Model. | ||

| Summary |
| This note reports on a search for a new CP-even neutral Higgs boson, H, decaying into a Z boson and a lighter CP-odd Higgs boson, A, where the Z decays into $\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$, and the A into $\mathrm{b\bar{b}}$. The search is based on LHC proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. We consider decays such that $\mathrm{H} \to \mathrm{Z}{\text{A}} \to \ell\ell\mathrm{b\bar{b}}$, where H and A are additional neutral Higgs bosons with masses ranging from ${\mathrm{m}}_{\mathrm{Z}} $ to 1000 GeV for H and 30 to 1000 GeV for A. Deviations from the SM expectations are observed with a global significance of 1.3$\sigma$ and so upper limits on the product of cross section and branching ratio are set. Limits are also set on the parameters of the type-II 2HDM model. Within this theoretical framework, H and A are the CP-even and CP-odd scalar bosons, respectively. The specific benchmark scenario corresponding to $\tan\beta=$ 1.5 and $\cos (\beta - \alpha)=$ 0.01 is excluded for $m_{\mathrm{H}}$ in the range 150-700 GeV and $m_{{\text{A}} }$ in the range 30-295 GeV with $m_{\mathrm{H}} > m_{{\text{A}} }$, or alternatively, for $m_{\mathrm{H}}$ in the range 125-280 GeV and $m_{{\text{A}} }$ in the range 200-700 with $m_{\mathrm{H}} < m_{{\text{A}} }$. Results are also interpreted in the benchmark scenario where $m_{\mathrm{H}}=$ 379 GeV and $m_{{\text pbA}} = $ 172 GeV. In this context, the region with $\cos (\beta - \alpha)$ in the range -0.9-0.3 and $\tan\beta$ in the range 0.5-7 is excluded. A larger region of the Type-II 2HDM parameter space is excluded with respect to previous searches. |
