A measurement is presented of the Z/γ ∗ → τ τ cross section in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV, using data recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1. The product of the inclusive cross section and branching fraction is measured to be σ (pp → Z/γ ∗+X) B(Z/γ ∗ → ττ) = 1848 ±
