description The aim of this project is to assess the expected performance of the Higgs decaying to a pair of tau leptons analysis in 2015 using Monte Carlo simulation. Distributions of kinematic variables are observed in order to see the difference occurring when the LHC at CERN upgrades from 8 TeV to 13 TeV centre-of-mass energy. Expected yields are calculated using only changes in cross-sections and acceptance and from this an estimate of the values for the expected sensitivity for the 13 TeV centre-of-mass energy at various luminosities are obtained. Assuming the same data size as of 2012, the profile likelihood significance that is obtained is 3.56sigma (p-value=0.0002) using tau_mu tau_h channel alone.
