Search for neutral MSSM Higgs Bosons in the h/A/H to τ+τ− Decay Mode with the ATLAS Detector

Abstract

In these proceedings a search for neutral Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model in the decay modes h/A/H to ${\tau }^{+}{\tau }^{-}$ is reported. This search is performed using 4.7 fb⁻¹ of integrated luminosity of pp collision data collected at the Large Hadron Collider at $\sqrt{s}=7\text{TeV}$ during 2011. Upper limits on the cross-section times branching ratio, for both b-associated and gluon-fusion production modes, are derived for the Higgs mass range of 90–500 GeV. Exclusion limits are also shown in the $m_A-\tan \beta$ plane for the $m_h^{\max }$ scenario with $\mu >0$.
