1. Introduction

The discovery of a scalar boson at the CERN LHC [1–3] with properties in agreement with those predicted by the standard model(SM) raisesthe question ofwhethertheHiggs sector con-sistsofonlyonephysicalstate,asexpectedintheSM,orwhether additionalbosonsarealsoinvolved.

Anextension oftheSM Higgssector isprovided intwoHiggs doubletmodels(2HDM)[4],whichintroduceasecond scalar dou-bletinadditiontotheonefromtheSM.Differentformulationsof 2HDMpredict differentcouplings of the two doublets to quarks andto leptons.In Type-I 2HDM, all fermions coupleto only one Higgsdoublet, while in Type-II, up- and down-typequarks cou-pleto different doublets.One example ofa Type-II 2HDMis the minimal supersymmetric standard model [5], despite that super-symmetry is not explicitly required in 2HDM. The second Higgs doublet entails the presence of five physical states: two neutral, CP-evenstates,representingalighth andaheavyH boson;a neu-tral,CP-oddA boson;andtwochargedscalarH±bosons.The light-estscalarh isassumedtobethebosonobservedattheLHCata massof125 GeV[6–9].Ifthemassesoftheheavierbosonsareat orbelowtheTeV scale,theycanbeaccessibleattheLHC.Searches forthisextendedsectorcanbeperformedeitherbymeasuringthe valuesofthecouplingsofthediscoveredh bosontootherSM par-ticles[10–12], orvia direct searches infinal states disfavored by

theSM[13].A waytoprobethiskindofnewphysicsistherefore to search forbosons that decay into final statesthat contain an SM-likeHiggsboson.

ThispaperdescribesasearchforaheavypseudoscalarA boson that decays into a Z and an h boson, both on-shell, withthe Z bosondecayingintoapairof+− leptons ( beinge or μ),and theh bosonintobb.Inmost2HDMformulations[4],theA boson isproducedpredominantlythroughgluon–gluonfusionanddecays toon-shellZ andh bosons,providedthatthemassoftheA boson satisfiesmAmh+mZ≈216 GeV.Thischannelisexpectedtobe viableformA smallerthantwice thetopquark mass(mt), where thedecayA→Zh isgenerallydominant,but,dependingonmodel parameters,itcanalsobesensitiveatlargervaluesofmA.Theh→ bb decayhasalargebranchingfractionformostoftheparameter spacein2HDM[11].A similaranalysishasbeenrecentlypublished byATLAS[14].

The analysis strategy is to reconstruct the Z, h, and A bo-son candidates fromthevisibledecay products intheevent. The signal would manifest itself as a peak in the four-body invari-ant mass (mbb) spectrum over an expected SM continuum. Ir-reduciblebackgroundscorrespondtoZ bosonproductionwithtwo accompanying b quark jets, and tt events in the dileptonic final state.Thesebackgroundsareevaluatedandnormalizeddirectly us-ing appropriate controlregions indata.The h bosonproduced in association with a Z boson provides a contribution to the back-ground,butitdiffersfromsignalbecausethembbmassdoesnot containaresonantpeak.Signalsensitivityisimprovedby exploit-ingtheknownvalueoftheh bosonmass,usingittorescalethejet

2. CMS detector

A detailed description of the CMS detector, together with a definition of the coordinate system and kinematic variables, can be found in Ref. [15]. The central feature of the CMS apparatus is a superconducting solenoid of 6 m internal diameter, provid-ing a magneticfield of3.8 T. The field volume contains asilicon pixelandstrip tracker,a homogeneouselectromagnetic calorime-ter(ECAL),andasamplinghadroncalorimeter(HCAL),each com-posedof abarrel andtwo endcapsections.Muonsare measured ingas-ionizationdetectorsembeddedinthesteelflux-returnyoke outsidethesolenoid.

Thesilicontrackermeasureschargedparticleswithinthe pseu-dorapidityrangeof|η|<2.5.Fornon-isolatedparticleswith trans-versemomentaof1<pT<10 GeV and|η|<1.4,thetrack resolu-tionsaretypically1.5%in pT,andbetween25–90and45–150 μm, respectively,intransverseandlongitudinalimpactparameters rel-ative to the production vertex [16]. The ECAL consists of lead tungstate crystals that provide a coverage up to |η|<3.0. The massresolutionforZ→e+e− decayswhen bothelectrons are in the ECAL barrel is 1.6%, and is 2.6% when both electrons are in theendcaps.TheHCALhasalternating layersofbrassasabsorber andplasticscintillators, and coversthe rangeof |η|<3.0,which is extendedto |η|5.2 throughforward calorimetry. Muonsare measured in the range of |η|<2.4, withdetection planes made usingthreetechnologies:drifttubes,cathode-stripchambers, and resistive-plate chambers. Matching muonsto tracks measured in thesilicontrackerprovidesa pT resolutionof1.3–2.0%formuons with20<pT<100 GeV in thebarrel andbetter than 6% inthe endcaps.

3. Data and simulation

Data used forthisanalysiswere collected usingdouble-muon and double-electron triggers, with pT thresholds set to 17 and 8 GeV for the highest and next highest pT lepton, respectively, andanisolationrequirementusedintheelectrontriggerto main-tain an acceptable rate. The analyzed events correspond to an integratedluminosity of19.7±0.5 fb−1 ofpp collisions at√s=

8 TeV[17].

SignalsamplesandSMbackgroundprocessesZ+jets,W+jets, and tt + jets or a vector boson (ttV ) are simulated using the MadGraph5.1[18] MonteCarlo(MC)generator;multijetsand di-bosons (V V, with V , V being W or Z) are generated using LO pythia6.4[19]andtheCTEQ6L[20]partondistributionfunctions (PDF).Singletopquarkproduction,andSMHiggsbosonproduction inassociation with an electroweak vector boson (V h)are gener-ated using the next-to-leading-order (NLO) powheg 1.0 [21–23] MC generator and the MSTW2008NLO PDF [24]. Parton shower-ing and hadronization are performed with pythia using the Z2∗ tune [25]. The generated MC events, including additional pp in-teractions(pileup)occurringinthebunchcrossing containingthe high-pT scatter, are processed through a full detectorsimulation basedon Geant4[26]andreconstructedwiththesamealgorithms asusedfordata.

The pseudoscalarA boson isassumed tobe produced via the gluon–gluon fusionprocess andto havea narrowwidth. The

va-lidityofthenarrow-widthapproximationisdiscussedinSection7. The branching fraction B(A→Zh) is set to 100%, and similarly onlytheZ bosondecaysintoelectronsormuons,andtheh boson decaysintoapairofbb quarks,areconsidered.Otherdecaymodes have negligible efficiencyfor passing the selections. The mass of thelightHiggsbosonissettomh=125 GeV,whilethesearchfor theA bosonisperformedinthemassrangefrom225to600 GeV, abovewhichtheefficiencytoreconstructtwoseparatejetsfromh decaybecomestoosmallbecauseofitsincreasedmomentum.

4. Event reconstruction

A global reconstruction of the event is achieved using a particle-flow (PF)technique,whichreconstructs andidentifies in-dividualparticles emerging fromeach collision usinginformation fromallCMSsubdetectors[27,28].

Electron candidates are reconstructed for |η|<2.5 by match-ingenergydepositionsintheECALwithreconstructedtracks[29]. Theidentificationreliesonamultivariatetechniquethatcombines observables sensitive to theamount ofbremsstrahlung along the electrontrajectory,thecompatibilityofthemeasuredposition, di-rection and momentum of the reconstructed track in the inner tracker,andtheenergydepositionreconstructedintheECAL clus-ter.Additionalrequirementsareimposedtoremoveelectrons pro-ducedbyphotonconversionsinthedetectormaterial.

Muons are reconstructed within |η|<2.4, combining infor-mation from both the silicon tracker and the outer muon spec-trometer[30],requiringsmallenergydepositionsinthe calorime-ters [31]. Muon candidates have to fulfill restrictive selection criteria basedonthequalityandtheimpactparameterofthetrack, aswellasonthenumberofhitsobservedinthetrackerandmuon systems.

An isolation variable is defined for each lepton through the scalarsumoverthe pT ofallPFcandidates,excluding thelepton, within a coneofR=(η)2+ (ϕ)2<0.4 aroundthe lepton direction, where ϕ is theazimuthal anglein radians, subtracting the pileupcontribution [32], andthendividing by thelepton pT. The lepton is rejected if the isolation exceeds 0.15 forelectrons and0.12formuons.

Jetsare formed fromall particles,chargedandneutral, recon-structed throughthePFalgorithm,andclusteredwiththeanti-kT algorithm[33,34]withadistanceparameterof0.5.Jetenergy cor-rections are determined from dijet and Z + jet events, and appliedtoboth dataandsimulation[35].Theimbalancein trans-versemomentumiscalculatedasthenegativeofthevectorialsum oftransversemomentaofallthePFcandidates,anditsmagnitude isdenotedasEmissT [36].

Thecombinedsecondaryvertex(CSV)btaggingalgorithm[37] is used to identify jets that originate from b quarks. This algo-rithmcombinesinformationfromtrackimpactparametersrelative totheprimaryandsecondary(displaced)verticesintoalikelihood discriminant.Twostandardworkingpointsaresetonthe discrimi-nant,correspondingtorestrictive(tight)andless-restrictive(loose) thresholdsthatprovideonaverage50%and80%btagging efficien-cies, with respective misidentification probabilities of about 0.1% and10%forlight-flavor jets,andabout5%and25%forcjets. The CSV distributionis correctedinsimulation totake intoaccount a difference atthe percentlevel inalgorithm performance fordata andsimulation.

5. Event selection

Events are required to have at least two electrons or two muons within the geometrical acceptanceregions, andto satisfy the reconstruction, identification, andisolation requirements. The

|η|<2.4, andwith angular separation relative to each lepton of R>0.5.Theh bosoncandidateisformedfromthetwojetsthat havethe highestvaluesof theb taggingdiscriminant. Additional jetsintheeventareignored.

Signal events are expected to have at least one jet b-tagged withthetight and onewith theloose CSV workingpoints;after btagging application, the contribution frompileup jets becomes negligible. The invariant masses of the two leptons and of the two jets are required to be compatiblewith those of the Z bo-son(75<m<105 GeV)andh boson(90<mbb<140 GeV),and thevalueoftheEmissT intheeventhastobecompatiblewithzero. Aftertheseselections,thesignal efficienciesrangefrom10.0% for

mA=250 GeV to20.7% formA=600 GeV.

Dedicated control regions are definedto check both the nor-malizationsanddistributions of themostimportant backgrounds byinvertingtheselectionsusedtoenhancesignal.Drell–Yan back-grounds (from qq→Z/γ→ +production) are considered separately as a function of the number of b jets, distinguishing Z+ jets(nobjets),Z+b (1bjet)andZ+bb (2bjets).The cor-responding control regions are selected by requiring 80<m< 100 GeV, EmissT <40 GeV, vetoing of dijet masses close to the Higgsboson massof 90<mj j<140 GeV, andapplyingdifferent b-taggingselections. Inthe Z+jetscontrolregion,nocutoffsare appliedonbtaggingdiscriminators.TheZ+b controlregion con-tainseventswithone bjetfulfillingthetight CSVworkingpoint, andnootherjetspassingtheloosethreshold.Eventsthatenterthe Z+bb controlregionshouldhaveatleasttwob-taggedjets,with onepassing thetight andthe otherthe looseworkingpoint.The tt controlregionis definedbyinverting them and EmissT selec-tions,droppingtherequirementofthedijetmass,andrequiringat leastonetightandonelooseb-taggedjet.

Thescalefactors thatare usedtocorrectthe normalizationof Drell–Yan and tt backgrounds, reported in Table 1, are obtained froma simultaneous likelihood fit to data andsimulation in the fourcontrolregions andare appliedinthefollowing stepsofthe analysis. Multijet contamination in control and signal regions is evaluated withdata by invertinglepton isolation criteria, andits contributionis found to be negligible. The yield of the V h, ttV , andsingle topproductionthrough thes channelare calculatedat NLO[38,39],whiletheother singletopchannelsanddibosonsare normalizedtothe measured crosssections[40–42].A mismodel-ing insimulation,observedinthecontrolregionsrelativetodata, iscorrectedby reweighting withalinearfunction theevent cen-tralitydistribution(defined asthe ratioof thesums inscalar pT andtheenergyofthetwo leptonsandtwojetsintherestframe ofthefourobjects)inallMonteCarloevents,improvingthe over-allagreementbetweensimulationanddata.

6. Systematic uncertainties

Thesensitivityoftheanalysisiscurrentlylimitedbythe avail-abledata,andnotbysystematicuncertainties.

Theuncertaintiesinthenormalizationsofthefourmain back-grounds(Z + jets, Z+b, Z+bb,and tt) originateboth fromthe fitsinthecontrolregionsandfromtheextrapolationtothesignal region.TheformerarereportedinTable 1,andthelatteris evalu-atedthroughasimultaneouslikelihoodfittodataandtosimulated yieldsinseveralstatisticallyindependentregions, obtainedby al-teringtheselectionsusedtodefinethefourcontrolregions.A 13% normalizationuncertaintyduetothisextrapolationisassignedto Z+jets,12% toZ+b,2.1% toZ+bb,and6.2%tott events. Nor-malizationuncertainties forother SM backgroundscorrespond to theonesontheirmeasuredortheoreticalcrosssections.

Theuncertaintiesinleptonreconstruction,identification, isola-tion,andtriggerefficienciesareevaluatedthroughspecificstudies ofeventswithmassesintheregionoftheZ peak.Uncertaintiesin backgroundorsignalnormalizationanddistributiondueto uncer-taintiesinjetenergyscaleandresolution[35]andbtaggingscale factors [37] are estimated by changing the corresponding values by±1 standarddeviation(σ).Additional systematicuncertainties affecting the normalization of backgrounds and signal from the choiceofPDF[48,49],contributionsfrompileup,EmissT fluctuations becauseof the presence ofunclustered energy in theevent, and integratedluminosity [17]are alsoconsideredintheanalysisand arereportedinTable 2(Normalization).

7. Results and their interpretation

Resultsareobtainedfromthecombinedsignalandbackground fit to the binned two-dimensional distribution of the four-body invariant mass mbb and the BDT output in the signal-sensitive (BDT>0.6) region. With no evidence of significant deviation from background expectations, the asymptoticmodified frequen-tistmethodis usedtodetermine thelimit atthe95% confidence level(CL)onthecontributionfromsignal,treating systematic un-certaintiesasnuisanceparametersthat areintegratedoverinthe fit[51–54].

The observed limit, as well asthe expected limit and its rel-ative ±1 and ±2σ bands ofuncertainty, are reportedas a func-tion oftheA boson mass inFig. 3 for σAB(A→Zh→ bb),i.e. the product of the cross section and the A→Zh, h→bb, and Z→  branching fractions, with=e or μ. The limits are ob-tainedby considering theA bosonproduced via thegluon–gluon fusion process in the narrow-width approximation. Interpolated mass points are obtained as in Ref. [55], and numerical values are reportedin Table 3. A signalupper limitat 95% CL isset on

As an independentcross-check ofthe 2D fit, thesignal is ex-tractedbyapplyingtwo complementarystrategies,basedon one-dimensionalfits.Thefirstoneconsistsoffittingthembb distribu-tion,afterselectingeventsinasignal-enrichedregionbyapplying aBDT>0.8 selection.The secondreliesonfits totheBDT distri-butions, afterselecting eventswithin the resolutionofthe signal

The results are interpreted in terms of Type-I and Type-II 2HDMformulations [4]. The B(A→Zh) and B(h→bb) branch-ing fractions and the signal cross sections are computed at next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) with SuShi 1.2.0 [57] and 2hdmc 1.6.4[58],respectively, usingtheMSTW2008LO,NLO, and NNLO sets ofPDF.
