Sumario:The potential of observing the Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass below 150 GeVc^2 via the H -> tautau -> lepton+jet decay channel with Vector Boson Fusion production process has been evaluated using full simulation of the CMS detector. A number of background rejection methods based on the characteristics of the VBF process have been studied. It is shown that about 10 Higgs boson events are expected to be observed with a significance of 3.9 sigma (Higgs mass = 135 GeV/c^2) using an integrated luminosity of 30 fb^-1.
