| contents | 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 $Z\rightarrowτ_μτ_{had}$ 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 $Z\rightarrowτ_μτ_{had}$ 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 $τ_μτ_{had}$ channel at the ATLAS detector. |
