Abstract
The ratio between the and branching fractions is measured using a data sample of proton-proton collisions collected by CMS at a center-of-mass energy of in the years 2016–2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . The meson is identified through its decay and the tau lepton is reconstructed in the hadronic three-prong final state. The measured ratio of branching fractions in this tau decay mode, , is combined with the previous analysis based on the leptonic decay channel, leading to . As this result is consistent with the standard model prediction of , no evidence of lepton flavor universality violation is found.
