Description
Whilst the discovered Higgs boson has so far shown no significant deviation from standard model predictions, there remains the possibility that it could be part of a larger spectrum of exotic Higgs particles, such as those found in supersymmetric standard model theories. In this talk I will explore part of this spectrum by considering the phenomenology of the 4 tau final state from the pair production of lighter (pseudo)scalar Higgs bosons. I will focus on the interpretation of this channel within beyond-standard-model theories, particularly focusing on the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. I will also explore the 4 tau signature from an experimental perspective, summarizing LHC Run I results, and considering the potential from Run II.
