The search uses proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3fb-1. Decays of CP-even hbosons to ttor bbpairs with the Zboson decaying to electron or muon pairs are considered, as well as h ?bbdecays with the Zboson decaying to neutrinos. No evidence for the production of an Aboson in these channels is found and the 95% confidence level upper limits derived for s(gg?A) ×BR(A ?Zh) ×BR(h ?f¯f)are 0.098–0.013pb for f=tand 0.57–0.014pb for f=bin a range of mA=220–1000GeV. The results are combined and interpreted in the context of two-Higgs-doublet models. Published by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC BY license (http://creativecommons.
