Towards the Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in Vector Boson Fusion and decaying into a tau pair in CMS with 1 inverse femtobarn: tau identification studies

The Standard Model Higgs boson produced in vector boson fusion and decaying to a pair of $\tau$ leptons is an important channel in the search of the Higgs boson in the mass range between 115 and 145 GeV. A selection strategy for the $\tau \tau \rightarrow \ell \nu \nu$+$\tau$-jet $\nu$ final state is presented. Some of the analysis methods that will be used to control the systematic uncertainties in the early searches at low luminosity of the order of 1 fb$^{-1}$ are also described.
