Description

The reconstruction of tau leptons in a hadronic environment can be challenging, yet is important for many searches for new particles as well as studies of standard model processes. The production of Z bosons decaying subsequently into tau pairs serves as an important benchmark for tau reconstruction. We describe tau reconstruction in CMS and present evidence for Z bosons decaying into tau pairs, for proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV.
