Abstract
A light pseudo-scalar that is copiously produced at the LHC may still be allowed by present searches. While masses above 65 GeV are effectively covered by di-photon searches, the lower mass window can be tested by a new search for boosted di-tau resonances. We test this strategy on a set of composite Higgs models with top partial compositeness, where most models can be probed with an integrated luminosity below 300 fb - 1 .Entities:

Couplings in the twelve models [15] used as benchmarks. For the top, several possibilities arise depending on the choice of top partner representation: here, as an illustration, we take the same coupling as for lighter fermions, whose mass arise from bilinear four-fermion interactions. is an estimate of the ratio between the TCP decay constant and the composite Higgs decay constant

Fig. 1Constraints on as a function of for the benchmark models M1 - M12, defined in Table 1. The bounds arise from di-muon searches [22, 23] in the low mass range, di-photon searches [3, 4] in the higher one, and from the BSM decay width of the Higgs [24] below 65 GeV. We have also indicated the current bounds obtained by adapting the results in [10] in the region between 20 and 65 GeV for the two models (M9 and M10) where they are the strongest
The values of in fb for TeV for each of the models defined in Table 1. The main backgrounds are di-top and single-top (59.2 fb), (24.7 fb), and di-bosons (11.0 fb)
