Description
Limits on the cross-section times branching fraction for Higgs particles, produced in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, and decaying to two taus with pseudorapidities between 2 and 4.5, are presented.
The result is based on a dataset of 1.0 fb-1 collected by the LHCb detector. Model independent upper limits on neutral Higgs cross-section times branching fraction are set and are compared to the SM Higgs expectation. Model dependent MSSM upper limits on tan(beta) are also set.
