Search for Higgs Boson Pair Production in the bb̅ τ+ τ- Decay Channel

Abstract

Exploring production with the CMS data requires the definition of sensitive observables and of a statistical method to evaluate the presence of a signal, that are the object of the first part of this chapter. The results obtained on the data collected in 2016 are then described and compared to other searches performed at the LHC Run II.
