Search for a Neutral Higgs Boson decaying to Tau Leptons using CMS at the LHC
This thesis presents a search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to a τ τ pairusing CMS data recorded at the LHC with 7 TeV and 8 TeV center of mass energyduring 2011 and 2012 respectively. The search is performed using two channels τµ τhand τe τh where τe , τµ represent a τ decay to an ele...

| description | This thesis presents a search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying to a τ τ pairusing CMS data recorded at the LHC with 7 TeV and 8 TeV center of mass energyduring 2011 and 2012 respectively. The search is performed using two channels τµ τhand τe τh where τe , τµ represent a τ decay to an electron or muon and τh represents aτ decay to hadron(s). The search is performed in the range 100 GeV < MH < 145GeV. An excess of events is observed with a maximum local significance of 2.56 σ atMH = 125 GeV. A best fit to the standard model Higgs boson yields signal strengthof µ = 1.20+0..51 at MH = 125 GeV.−0 48 |
