| Abstract: | The latest results of the direct coupling of a standard model Higgs boson and tau leptons using events recorded by the CMS experiment at LHC in 2011 and 2012 are presented. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb-1 of pp collision data collected at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and 19.7 fb-1 collected at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. Results of a search for a MSSM neutral Higgs bosons decaying to tau pairs will also be briefly summarized. |
| Speaker: | Joshua Swanson - Brown University
 I did my undergraduate study in Physics with an emphasis in Astrophysics at Saint Cloud State University in Minnesota achieving a B.S in May 2008. I followed that with my graduate study at The University of Wisconsin Madison where I worked on CMS and finished my PhD in May 2013. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Brown University.
