Analysis of Standard Model Higgs Boson Decays to Tau Pairs with the CMS Detector at the LHC
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.
