Description

A search for the associated production of a W boson and the standard model Higgs boson, which decays into a pair of hadronically decaying tau leptons, is presented using data collected in 2011 and 2012 by the CMS experiment. The analysis uses 5 fb−1 and 19 fb−1 collision data collected at the center-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV, respectively. The analysis motivation, procedure and results are described, and placed in context with the overall Higgs to tau tau searches at CMS.
