Abstract (data abstract)
Measurements of the production cross-sections of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson ($H$) decaying into a pair of $\tau$-leptons are presented. The measurements use data collected with the ATLAS detector from $pp$ collisions produced at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$=13TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$. Leptonic ($\tau\rightarrow l \nu_{l}\nu_{\tau}$) and hadronic ($\tau\rightarrow$ hadrons $\nu_{\tau}$ ) decays of the $\tau$-lepton are considered. All measurements account for the branching ratio of $H\rightarrow\tau\tau$ and are performed with a requirement $|y_{H}|<2.5$, where $y_{H}$ is the true Higgs boson rapidity. The cross-section of the pp$\rightarrow H\rightarrow \tau\tau $ process is measured to be $2.94 \pm 0.21$ (stat) $^{+0.37}_{-0.32}$ (syst) pb, in agreement with the SM predictions $ 3.17 \pm 0.09$ pb. Inclusive cross-sections are determined separately for the four dominant production mode, $2.65 \pm 0.41$ (stat) $^{+0.91}_{-0.67}$ (syst) pb for gluon-gluon fusion, $ 0.197 \pm 0.028 $ (stat) $^{+0.032}_{-0.026}$ (syst) pb for vector-boson fusion, $ 0.115 \pm 0.058 $ (stat) $^{+0.042}_{-0.040} $ (syst) pb for vector-boson associated production and $ 0.033 \pm 0.031 $ (stat) $^{+0.022}_{-0.017}$ (syst) pb for top-quark pair associated production. Measurements in exclusive regions of the phase space, using the simplified template cross-section framework, are also performed. All results are in agreement with the SM predictions.
