# Search for Neutral MSSM Higgs Bosons Decaying to Tau Pairs in $pp$ Collisions at $s=7$ TeV

The CMS Collaboration (2011) Search for Neutral MSSM Higgs Bosons Decaying to Tau Pairs in $pp$ Collisions at $s=7$ TeV. Physical Review Letters, 106, [231801].

Record type: Article

## Abstract

A search for neutral minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) Higgs bosons in pp collisions at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. The results are based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36  pb−1 recorded by the CMS experiment. The search uses decays of the Higgs bosons to tau pairs. No excess is observed in the tau-pair invariant-mass spectrum. The resulting upper limits on the Higgs boson production cross section times branching fraction to tau pairs, as a function of the pseudoscalar Higgs boson mass, yield stringent new bounds in the MSSM parameter space.
