The "Total" column corresponds to the sum of the expected contributions from the signal and background processes. The uncertainty represents the sum of statistical and systematic uncertainties in the signal and background predictions.

Ordered list of the 30 systematic uncertainties with the largest impact on the measured signal normalisation in the fit to data in the parton-level measurement considered as nuisance parameters (NPs) in the profile-likelihood fit. The column "NP value, error" corresponds to the nominal best-fit values and the corresponding uncertainties. The impact of each NP, $\Delta\sigma$/$\sigma_{\mathrm{pred}}$, is computed by comparing the nominal best-fit value of the POI ($\sigma$/$\sigma_{\mathrm{pred}}$) with the result of the fits when fixing the considered NP to its best-fit value shifted by its pre-fit and post-fit uncertainties. The corresponding impacts are listed in the "POI impact prefit high/low" and "POI impact high/low" columns, respectively. The "MC stat." NPs represent the MC statistical uncertainty and they enter the likelihood with a Poisson term, while all the other NPs enter the likelihood via a Gaussian term.

This table lists the kinematic requirements on parton-level objects used to define of the fiducial phase space for the parton-level measurement. Frixione isolation ($\href{https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9801442}{\text{hep-ph/9801442}}$) with a chosen radius of $\Delta R = 0.2$ is applied to photons ($\gamma$).

This table lists the kinematic requirements on particle-level objects used to define of the fiducial phase space for the particle-level measurement. The particle level objects are photons ($\gamma$) not from a hadron decay, neutrinos not from a hadron decay ($\nu$), prompt electrons and muons ($\ell$) "dressed" by adding close-by ($\Delta R < 0.1$) photons, and anti-$k_t$ $R = 0.4$ jets built from stable particles ($\tau > 30\,$ps) and tau leptons excluding neutrinos and prompt dressed muons. Jets are $b$-tagged ($b$-jet) using ghost-matched $b$-hadrons with $p_{\text{T}} > 5\,$GeV. Apart from the kinematic requirements, isolation and overlap removal criteria are applied. Jets within $\Delta R = 0.4$ of a photon are removed if the $p_{\text{T}}$ of charged particles within $\Delta R = 0.3$ of the photon is smaller than $10\,\%$ of its $p_{\text{T}}$. Jets within $\Delta R = 0.4$ of a lepton are removed. Events are removed where a photon is close ($\Delta R < 0.4$) to a lepton or a surviving jet. The measured fiducial particle-level cross section is $\sigma_{tq\gamma}\times\mathcal{B}(t\rightarrow l\nu b)+\sigma_{t(\rightarrow l\nu b\gamma)q} = 303\pm 9(\text{stat.})^{+33}_{-32}(\text{syst.})\,$fb.

Results summary.

Bayesian upper exclusion limits on the ratio $g_{W'}/g_{W}$ for an SSM-like W$\prime$ boson are shown. The unity coupling ratio (blue dotted curve) corresponds to the SSM common benchmark. The 68 and 95% quantiles of the limits are represented by the green and yellow bands, respectively.

Bayesian lower exclusion limits on the NUGIM G(221) mixing angle $\cot(\theta_{E})$ are shown as a function of the W$\prime$ boson mass. The theoretically excluded region is shaded in grey. The 68 and 95% quantiles of the limits are represented by the green and yellow bands, respectively.

Bayesian upper exclusion limits at 95% CL on the product of the production cross section and branching fraction of a QBH in an associated $ au$ lepton and neutrino final state. Minimum threshold masses $m_{th}$ of up to 6.6 TeV are excluded at 95% CL. The observed limit (solid line) is obtained from the intersection with the LO QBH cross section (blue dotted curve). The 68 and 95% quantiles of the limits are represented by the green and yellow bands, respectively.

Bayesian upper limits at 95% CL on the cross section of the process $pp\rightarrow\tau\nu$ mediated via LQ exchange in the t-channel. The inner (green) band and the outer (yellow) band indicate the regions containing 68 and 95%, respectively, of the distribution of limits expected under the background-only hypothesis. The predicted LQ cross section at LO in the three coupling benchmark scenarios is depicted in different colors for $g_{U}=1$. The uncertainty bandy correspond to the sum in quadrature of PDF and scale variations. The first benchmark scenario considers only couplings to left-handed SM fermions (i.e. $\beta_{\text{R}}^{ij}=0$) and is referred to as "best fit LH". The second benchmark, referred to as "best fit LH+RH", considers $|\beta_{\text{R}}^{\text{b}\tau}|=1$ and all other $\beta_{\text{R}}^{ij}=0$. In the third "democratic" benchmark, equal couplings only to LH fermions are assumed, i.e. $\beta_{\text{L}}^{ij}=1$ and $\beta_{\text{R}}^{ij}=0$ for all $i$ and $j$.

Parametrization of the $A_{X}$ factor, defined as the fraction of diphoton resonances satisfying the fiducial acceptance at the particle level, as function of $m_{X}$ obtained from the narrow width simulated signal samples produced in gluon fusion.

The correction factor, $C_{X}$, defined as the ratio between the number of reconstructed signal events passing the analysis cuts and the number of signal events at the particle level generated within the fiducial volume, and acceptance correction factor, $A_{X}$, defined as the fraction of diphoton resonances satisfying the fiducial acceptance at the particle level. Both are computed for NWA spin-0 models as a function of $m_{X}$.

Effect of event selections on a scalar MC signal sample generated for $m_{X}$ = 15 GeV and on the data. For the MC sample, the efficiencies are shown after applying event weights and a truth level filter that requires two photons with $p^{\gamma\gamma}_{T}>40$ GeV; for the data, the absolute yields are shown. The initial yields for data include a trigger preselection that is the OR of a list of single photon and diphoton triggers. The "2 $loose$ photons" step includes the kinematic acceptance cuts.

Cumulative efficiency for simulated signal events to pass each stage of the event selection in the hadhad category. The efficiencies are calculated with respect to HH to bbtautau decays in which both tau-leptons decay hadronically. The ‘Pre-selection’ consists of basic requirements, including that at least two tau-had-vis pass loose kinematic requirements, at least one of the tau-had-vis candidate passes identification requirement, and that events do not contain an electron or muon. The ‘Object selections’ require exactly two tau-had-vis candidates, and at least two jets with pT > 25 GeV and abs(eta) < 2.5. The ‘Loose tau ID’ requires that both tau-had-vis candidates pass identification requirements. The ‘DTT offline jet cuts’ are cuts placed on the pT of the reconstructed jet or tau-had-vis that are geometrically matched to the HLT objects, to ensure the efficiencies of the HLT objects reach the plateau region.

Nuisance parameters ranked according to their post-fit impacts on the best-fit value of the ratio $\mu$ of the measured cross-section to the predicted cross-section. In the figure, only the 20 nuisance parameters with the largest post-fit impacts are shown. The empty (solid) blue rectangles illustrate the pre-fit (post-fit) impact on $\mu$, corresponding to the upper axis. The pre-fit (post-fit) impact of each nuisance parameter, $\Delta\mu$, is calculated as the difference in the fitted value of $\mu$ between the nominal fit and the fit when fixing the corresponding nuisance parameter to $\hat{\theta}\pm\Delta\theta$ ($\hat{\theta}\pm\Delta\hat{\theta}$), where $\hat{\theta}$ is the best-fit value of the nuisance parameter and $\Delta\theta$ ($\Delta\hat{\theta}$) is its pre-fit (post-fit) uncertainty. Several systematic uncertainties are split into different nuisance parameters, which are indicated by NP. JES (JER) indicates jet energy scale (resolution), and $\gamma$ indicates a nuisance parameter associated to the MC statistics in one of the 18 bins numbered from 0 to 17. The black points show the best-fit values of the nuisance parameters, with the error bars representing the post-fit uncertainties. Each nuisance parameter is shown wrt. its nominal value, $\theta_0$, and in units of its pre-fit uncertainty, except the free-floating normalisation factors of the $t\bar{t}$ and $W$+jets backgrounds, and the parameters associated to the MC statistics in each bin, for which the post-fit values and uncertainties are shown.
