Abstract
A search is presented for a heavy pseudoscalar boson text {A} decaying to a Z boson and a Higgs boson with mass of 125,text {GeV}. In the final state considered, the Higgs boson decays to a bottom quark and antiquark, and the Z boson decays either into a pair of electrons, muons, or neutrinos. The analysis is performed using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9,text {fb}^{-1} collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC from proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13,text {Te}text {V}. The data are found to be consistent with the background expectations. Exclusion limits are set in the context of two-Higgs-doublet models in the text {A} boson mass range between 225 and 1000,text {GeV}.
