abstract = {A search for heavy neutral gauge bosons (Z`) decaying into a pair of tau leptons is performed in proton-proton collisions at V¯s=13 TeV at the CERN LHC. The data were collected with the CMS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb-1. The observations are found to be in agreement with the expectation from standard model processes. Limits at 95% confidence level are set on the product of the Z´ production cross section and its branching fraction to tau lepton pairs for a range of Z´ boson masses. For a narrow resonance in the sequential standard model scenario, a Z´  boson with a mass below 3.5 TeV is excluded. This is the most stringent limit to date from this type of search.},
organization = {We congratulate our colleagues in the CERN accelerator departments for the excellent performance of the LHC and thank the technical and administrative staffs at CERN and at other CMSinstitutes for their contributions to the success of the CMS effort. In addition, we gratefully acknowledge the computing centres and personnel of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid and other centers for delivering so effectively the computing infrastructure essential to our analyses.
