ATLAS Search for SM H->tauta in the VBF Production Mode

This article discusses the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in vector boson fusion and subsequent decay into tau pairs with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. This analysis is based on Monte Carlo signal and background samples simulated with a detailed detector description including misalignments, distortions and the entire trigger chain. Preliminary results are reported including the expected discovery potential with 30 fb−1 of data as well as the 95% expected signal exclusion with 10 fb−1.
