With a mass around 125 GeV, a handful of events are already expected
to be present in the current ATLAS analysis searching for the SM higgs in the tau+tau-. Unfortunately, this channel has low mass resolution and high backgrounds, notably from Z decays, so it is difficult to establish a significant signal. In addition to reviewing the latest ATLAS results, this talk also presents some ideas...
