Search for NMSSM inspired di-Higgs events in bb+ττ final states — •Felix Heyen, Ralf Schmieder, Sebastian Brommer, Günter Quast, Roger Wolf, Nikita Shadskiy, Martin Marz, and Maximilian Burkhart — KIT, Karlsruhe
In the next-to-minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (NMSSM), modifications to the Standard Model Electroweak sector lead to an extended Higgs sector with a total of seven Higgs bosons. The decay of a heavy scalar Higgs boson to a light scalar Higgs boson and a Higgs boson with the properties of the discovered Higgs boson is a promising target of this extension. This talk discusses the physics motivations of the NMSSM and introduces the search for such a decay in ττ + bb final states. Of the possible tau lepton final states that can be considered, this search focusses on τhτh final state. A simulation of the 2018 CMS data taking period is considered.
