Search for a low-mass scalar Higgs boson decaying to a tau pair in single-photon decays of Υ(1S)

We search for a low-mass scalar C P -odd Higgs boson, A 0 , produced in the radiative decay of the upsilon resonance and decaying into a τ + τ − pair: Υ ( 1 S ) → γ A 0 . The production of Υ ( 1 S ) mesons is tagged by Υ ( 2 S ) → π + π − Υ ( 1 S ) transitions, using a sample of ( 98.3 ± 0.9 ) × 10...
