Description

The H->tau tau decay mode has a relatively high BR and good S/B ratio when considering advanced techniques to reconstruct and identify tau leptons in all possible decay modes. This enables the search of rare process, as non-resonant di-Higgs production, where one of the Higgs boson decays to ditaus. Possible channels involve H->gamma gamma, H->bb, associated with the H->tau tau decay. This presentation will cover both the resonant and non-resonant HH decays, involving tau decays, using CMS data. Multiple final states with hadronic and leptonic tau decays, covering a wide mass range, are reported as well.
