Description
A measurement of the Higgs boson cross section using H -> tau tau decays is performed, with the result split into 4 production modes, with both hadronic and semi-hadronic decays considered. Data was taken by the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of CERN's Large Hadron Collider, with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, resulting in 139 fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data. Full unblinded results are shown. Special attention is paid to the associated top quark pair production mode, including a proposed differential cross section measurement of the transverse momentum of the Higgs boson using a neural network to improve the resolution.
