Description

We report on the selection and reconstruction strategy for Z->tautau->e+tau jet events, and and their application in CMS with early data, as a benchmark for SUSY H/A->tautau->e+tau jet and tau tagging efficiency measurement. Using Monte Carlo simulated data, the performance of the reconstruction algorithms is evaluated. The number of expected signal and background events for 100 pb^-1 of integrated luminosity is estimated and data driven techniques for measuring efficiencies and background contributions are discussed.
