Measurement of H $\to$ ${\tau }_{had}{\tau }_{had}$ at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS Experiment

The H $\to$ $\tau \tau$ process is currently the only observed leptonic decay channel of the Higgs boson at the LHC. The ATLAS experiment performed a cut based analysis in this decay channel on 36.1 fb${}^{-1}$ of data collected in 2015 and 2016 at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, measuring the cross section times branching ratio for pp $\to$ H $\to$ $\tau \tau$. The process is divided in sub-channels according to the decay of the $\tau$-leptons into lighter leptons or hadrons. The Higgs production cross sections for the gluon gluon fusion and vector boson fusion production modes are extracted from a maximum likelihood fit to data on the distribution of the reconstructed mass m${}_{\tau \tau }$ from the two $\tau$-leptons. This talk will discuss the recently published ATLAS results with a focus on the di-hadronic sub-channel and give an outlook for the analysis on the full 13 TeV dataset.
