Cut flow of the 2HDM+a signal points, gluon–gluon fusion production, Low mA SR. tanB = 1, $sin\theta$ = 0.35. The first two entries in the tables are number of raw MC events, third entry is theoretical prediction, and all other lines include the correct weights. Note that during the generation Higgs boson’s branching ratio to taus has been set to 1. An additional factor of 0.0627 is used to account for that, starting from the ‘Initial’ entry.
