Description
Searches conducted at the Fermilab Tevatron for the Higgs boson in final states containing tau leptons are reported using data collected at the CDF and D0 experiments. The branching fraction for H-tau+tau is non-negligible for a low-mass standard model Higgs boson. In addition, in channels such as WH and H-WW, a W boson may decay into a final state including a tau lepton. This talk will summarize the recent efforts to improve the sensitivity to a standard model Higgs boson at the Tevatron by identifying tau leptons in the final state.
