Pith's one-line read The first search for h->aa->mumu cc in LHC data sets 95% CL upper limits down to 3.3e-4 on sigma/sigma_SM times the branching fraction, excluding new parameter space in 2HDM+S models.

The reading
Extended reading notes
Core claim
No significant deviation from the standard model expectation is observed. Model-independent upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on sigma/sigma_SM times B(h125 -> aa -> mu+ mu- c cbar), reaching a minimum value close to 3.3e-4. The constraints are the first to cross unity in 2HDM+S Type II and III with tan beta = 0.5 for pseudoscalar masses between 4 and 11 GeV.
Load-bearing premise
The background model in the signal region is derived from the control region by assuming that the di-muon invariant mass shapes of the five quarkonium resonances (J/psi, psi(2S), Upsilon(1S/2S/3S)) are identical in the two regions, with only the relative normalizations changing through fixed family ratios (Section 6). If the tight c-tagging requirement in the signal region changes the resonance mass resolution, peak position, or the J/psi-to-Upsilon ratio compared to the control region, the simultaneous fit could absorb a real signal into the background or produce a biased limit.

abstract
A search is performed for pairs of light pseudoscalar bosons (a) produced from decays of the 125 GeV Higgs boson ($\text{h}_{125}$). The analysis is based on publicly available data collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The amount of data analyzed corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 16.4 $\text{fb}^{-1}$. The analysis explores for the first time at the LHC the final state exhibiting two muons and two c-quarks, which originate from flavor-asymmetric decays of the pseudoscalar pair. The search probes the pseudoscalar boson mass interval comprised between 4 and 11 GeV, which represents a region where the light bosons exhibit a considerable Lorentz boost, and thus their decay products overlap. No significant deviation from the standard model expectation is observed. Model-independent upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the product of the cross section and branching fraction for the ${\text{h}_{125} \rightarrow \text{a}\text{a} \rightarrow \mu^{-}\mu^{+} c\bar{c}}$ process relative to the standard model Higgs boson production cross section, reaching a minimum value close to $3.3 \times 10^{-4}$. The results are interpreted in the context of two Higgs doublets plus singlet models and compared to existing experimental results covering other decay channels. The exclusion limits obtained by this search improve the current constraints set by various LHC searches in scenarios where the coupling of the light boson to up-type quarks is enhanced.
