The search uses proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb\(^{-1}\). Decays of CP-even h bosons to ττ or bb pairs with the Z boson decaying to electron or muon pairs are considered, as well as h→bb decays with the Z boson decaying to neutrinos. No evidence for the production of an A boson in these channels is found and the 95\% confidence level upper limits derived for σ(gg→A)×BR(A→Zh)×BR(h→f\(\bar{f}\)) are 0.098-0.013 pb for f=τ and 0.57-0.014 pb for f=b in a range of m\(_{A}\)=220-1000 GeVmA=220-1000 GeV. The results are combined and interpreted in the context of two-Higgs-doublet models.}, language = {en} }
