Description

A search for new physics in events with two high-$p_T$ taus is performed using 2.2 $\text{fb}^{-1}$ of data collected by the CMS experiment during 2015 at sqrt(s)=13TeV. The search is centered around the heavy neutral gauge boson known as the Z', though additional models are also considered. Observations are consistent with the Standard Model expectations. The diTau mass spectrum is examined, and limits are set at 95\% confidence level on the production cross section times branching fraction of a Z' resonance decaying to tau pairs.
