Description

The search for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying into pairs of tau leptons performed at the complete CMS run I data set comprising integrated luminosities of 4.9/fb at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 19.7/fb at 8 TeV, respectively, is presented with a particular focus on the analysis of the di-muon final state. Multivariate discrimination techniques are used to handle the two most dominant backgrounds of Z->mumu and Z->tautau events. Exclusion limits are set as no excess over the background-only hypothesis is found. The published CMS H->tautau analysis is summarised and an outlook to future measurements in this channel is given by extrapolating the H->tautau analysis to the expected luminosity of the present 13 TeV data taking period. Here, only the most sensitive channels mu-tau, e-tau, e-mu were used.
