The search uses 36.1 fb(-1) of pp collision data with root s = 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2015 and 2016. Decays of the tau-lepton pairs with at least one tau lepton decaying to final states with hadrons and a neutrino are considered. No significant excess above the expected background is observed in the data. The cross-section times branching ratio for nonresonant Higgs boson pair production is constrained to be less than 30.9 fb, 12.7 times the standard model expectation, at 95{\%} confidence level. The data are also analyzed to probe resonant Higgs boson pair production, constraining a model with an extended Higgs sector based on two doublets and a Randall-Sundrum bulk graviton model. Upper limits are placed on the resonant Higgs boson pair production cross-section times branching ratio, excluding resonances X in the mass range 305 GeV < m(X) < 402 GeV in the simplified hMSSM minimal supersymmetric model for tan beta = 2 and excluding bulk Randall-Sundrum gravitons G(KK) in the mass range 325 GeV < m(GKK) < 885 GeV for k/(M) over bar P-1 = 1.", optnote="WOS:000449402500001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3797), last updated on Fri, 23 Nov 2018 11:39:03 +0000", issn="0031-9007", doi="10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.191801", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1808.00336", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.191801", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1808.00336", language="English" }
