Abstract

Measurements of the Higgs production cross section in the H → ττ decay channel are presented. The analysis has been performed using 36.1 fb−1 of data collected by the ATLAS experiment at √s = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed (expected) significance of the H → ττ signal excess over the expected background amounts to 4.4 (4.1) standard deviations. This result, combined with the data taken at √s = 7 and 8 TeV, leads to an observed (expected) significance of 6.4 (5.4) standard deviations and constitutes the first ATLAS observation of H → ττ . All the reported measurements are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions.
