The search is based on proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of $13~\\mathrm{TeV}$ collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $35.9~\\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The observed data are consistent with the standard model expectation. Upper limits at $95\\%$ confidence level on the cross section times branching fraction are determined for two hypothetical signal models: a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson decaying to a pair of $\\tau$ leptons produced in association with bottom quarks, and a low-mass boson X decaying to a $\\tau$ lepton pair that is produced in the decay of a bottom-like quark B such that $\\mathrm{B}\\to \\mathrm{bX}$. Masses between $25$ and $70~\\mathrm{GeV}$ are probed for the light pseudoscalar boson with upper limits ranging from $250$ to $44~\\mathrm{pb}$. Upper limits from $20$ to $0.3~\\mathrm{pb}$ are set on B masses between $170$ and $450~\\mathrm{GeV}$ for X boson masses between $20$ to $70~\\mathrm{GeV}$. Through event selections that are optimized for vector-like quarks, the search results extend the reach for new particles to a previously unexplored phase space.","hasPart":[{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.88348.v1/t1","@type":"Dataset","description":"The product of acceptance, efficiency, and branching fraction of $\\mathrm{b}\\overline{\\mathrm{b}}\\mathrm{A}$ production with $\\mathrm{A} \\rightarrow \\tau\\tau$ in the $\\mathrm{e}\\tau_\\mathrm{h}$ and $\\mu\\tau_\\mathrm{h}$...","name":"Acceptance of the bbA signal in the 1 b tag category"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.88348.v1/t2","@type":"Dataset","description":"Observed $m_{\\tau\\tau}$ distribution in the $\\mathrm{e}\\tau_\\mathrm{h}$ channel of the 1 b tag category, compared to the expected SM background contributions....","name":"Event yields in the etau channel of the 1 b tag category"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.88348.v1/t3","@type":"Dataset","description":"Observed $m_{\\tau\\tau}$ distribution in the $\\mu\\tau_\\mathrm{h}$ channel of the 1 b tag category, compared to the expected SM background contributions....","name":"Event yields in the mutau channel of the 1 b tag category"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.88348.v1/t4","@type":"Dataset","description":"Observed (black solid) and expected (black dotted) limits at 95% confidence level on the product of the the cross section...","name":"Exclusion limits on bbA, combined"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.88348.v1/t5","@type":"Dataset","description":"Observed (black solid) and expected (black dotted) limits at 95% confidence level on the product of the the cross section...","name":"Exclusion limits on bbA, etau, 1 b tag category"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.88348.v1/t6","@type":"Dataset","description":"Observed (black solid) and expected (black dotted) limits at 95% confidence level on the product of the the cross section...","name":"Exclusion limits on bbA, mutau, 1 b tag category"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.88348.v1/t7","@type":"Dataset","description":"The product of acceptance, efficiency, and branching fraction of the qbX signal with $\\mathrm{X} \\rightarrow \\tau\\tau$ and $m_{\\mathrm{B}}=170~\\mathrm{GeV}$ in $\\mathrm{e}\\tau_\\mathrm{h}$...","name":"Acceptance of the qbX signal in 1b1f and 1b1c"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.88348.v1/t8","@type":"Dataset","description":"Observed $m_{\\tau\\tau}$ distribution in the $\\mathrm{e}\\tau_\\mathrm{h}$ channel of the 1b1f category, compared to the expected SM background contributions.
