Measurement of the $Z/ \gamma^* \rightarrow \tau \tau$ cross section in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV and validation of $\tau$ lepton analysis techniques

In this paper, we report a measurement of the the $Z/ \gamma^* \rightarrow \tau \tau$ cross section and validation of the fake factor background estimation method. Published at European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields (2018).
