title: "Table 4" of "Search for additional heavy neutral Higgs and gauge bosons in the ditau final state produced in 36 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector"

description: Observed and predicted mTtot distribution in the b-tag category of the 2tau_h channel. Despite listing this as an exclusive final state (as there must be at least one b-jets), there is no explicit selection on the presence of additional light-flavour jets. Please note that the bin content is divided by the bin width in the paper figure, but not in the HepData table. The last bin includes overflows. The combined prediction for A and H bosons with masses of 300, 500 and 800 GeV and $\tan\beta$ = 10 in the hMSSM scenario are also provided.

title: "Table 15" of "Search for additional heavy neutral Higgs and gauge bosons in the ditau final state produced in 36 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector"

description: Two dimensional likelihood scan of the gluon-gluon fusion cross section times braching fraction, $\sigma(gg\phi)\times B(\phi\to\tau\tau)$, vs the b-associated production times branching fraction, $\sigma(bb\phi)\times B(\phi\to\tau\tau)$ for the Higgs boson mass ($m_\phi$) indicated in the table. For each mass, 10000 points are scanned. At each point $\Delta(\mathrm{NLL})$ is calculated, defined as the negative-log-likelihood (NLL) of the conditional fit with $\sigma(gg\phi)$ and $\sigma(bb\phi)$ fixed to their values at the point and with the minimum NLL value at any point subtracted. Vaules are provided for the fit to the observed data and to the expected data, which is the sum of Standard Model contributions not including the SM Higgs boson. The best-fit point and the preferred 68% and 95% boundaries are found at $2\Delta(\mathrm{NLL})$ values of 0.0, 2.30 and 5.90, respectively.

- &gt;=2tau_h
- ptTauVis &gt; 65 GeV (at least one with ptTauVis &gt; 130 GeV, note that technically, this upper threshold was 85 GeV for ~10% of the data)
- No events with an electron or muon, ptLepton &gt; 7 (15) GeV for muons (electrons), |etaMuon| &lt; 2.5, |etaEle| &lt; 2.47 (excluding 1.37 &lt; |etaEle| &lt; 1.52)
- If more than two tau_h exist, the two leading visible pt ones are chosen
- The two tau_h have opposite electric charge
- |DeltaPhi(tau1_h,tau2_h)| &gt; 2.7 rad

For Higgs interpretations events entering the fiducial region of each channel are categorised as: 
- "b-tag: if they contain a b-quark initiated jet (ptJet &gt; 20 GeV, |etaJet|&lt;2.5)"
- "b-veto: otherwise"
