Yetkin, Elif Aslı2020-12-232020-12-232019-07-031434-60521434-6044https://hdl.handle.net/11411/2967https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7058-zA search is presented for a heavy pseudoscalar boson A decaying to a Z boson and a Higgs boson with mass of 125 GeV. In the final state considered, the Higgs boson decays to a bottom quark and antiquark, and the Z boson decays either into a pair of electrons, muons, or neutrinos. The analysis is performed using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1 collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 Te. The data are found to be consistent with the background expectations. Exclusion limits are set in the context of two-Higgs-doublet models in the A boson mass range between 225 and 1000.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPROGRAMArticle10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7058-z31397444Q1WOS:000474491700001
