Description

A search for the standard model Higgs boson in pp collisions is presented in the associated production channel Z(tautau)H(bb) where each tau decays leptonically, one to an electron, the other to a muon. A data sample comprising of 5.0 fb-1 at center-of-mass energy 7 TeV and 19 fb-1 at center-of-mass energy 8 TeV collected by the CMS detector at the LHC has been analyzed and 95% confidence level upper limits on the production cross-section relative to the Standard Model prediction are presented for the 110-150 GeV Higgs mass range.
