Search for the Standard Model Scalar boson decaying to tau pairs produced in association with a Z boson

A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying to tau pairs is presented using data collected in 2011 and 2012 with the CMS experiment at the LHC.The search is performed in the four-lepton final state topology, where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a Z boson decaying to a pair of electrons or muons. The analyses uses $pp$ collision data corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5 fb$^{-1}$ collected at $\sqrt{s}=$7 TeV and 19.5 fb$^{-1}$ collected at $\sqrt{s}=$8 TeV.
