    abstract = "A search for heavy resonances that decay to tau lepton pairs is
performed using proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV. The data
were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC and correspond to
an integrated luminosity of 2.2 fb(-1). The observations are in
agreement with standard model predictions. An upper limit at 95%
confidence level on the product of the production cross section and
branching fraction into tau lepton pairs is calculated as a function of
the resonance mass. For the sequential standard model, the presence of
Z’ bosons decaying into tau lepton pairs is excluded for Z/ masses below
2.1 TeV, extending previous limits for this final state. For the
topcolor-assisted technicolor model, which predicts Z’ bosons that
preferentially couple to third-generation fermions, Z’ masses below 1.7
TeV are excluded, representing the most stringent limit to date."
