| Abstract: | This paper presents a new τ -lepton reconstruction and identification procedure at the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, which leads to significantly improved performance in the case of physics processes where a highly boosted pair of τ -leptons is produced and one τ -lepton decays into a muon and two neutrinos ( τ μ ), and the other decays into hadrons and one neutrino ( τ had ). By removing the muon information from the signals used for reconstruction and identification of the τ had candidate in the boosted pair, the efficiency is raised to the level expected for an isolated τ had . The new procedure is validated by selecting a sample of highly boosted Z → τ μ τ had candidates from the data sample of 140 fb - 1 of proton–proton collisions at 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector. Good agreement is found between data and simulation predictions in both the Z → τ μ τ had signal region and in a background validation region. The results presented in this paper demonstrate the effectiveness of the τ had reconstruction with muon removal in enhancing the signal sensitivity of the boosted τ μ τ had channel at the ATLAS detector.
