Description
We investigate the prospects for the discovery at the CERN Large Hadron
Collider of a neutral Higgs boson produced with one bottom quark followed
by Higgs decay into a pair of tau leptons.
We work within the framework of the minimal supersymmetric model.
The dominant physics background from the production of $b\tau^+\tau^-$,
$j\tau^+\tau^-$ ($j = g, u, d, s, c$), $b\bar{b}W^+W^-$, $W+2j$
and $b\bar{b}g$ is calculated with realistic acceptance cuts and efficiencies.
Promising results are found for the CP-odd pseudoscalar ($A^0$)
and the heavier CP-even scalar ($H^0$) Higgs bosons with masses up to 1 TeV.
