Search for neutral MSSM Higgs bosons decaying to tau^+ tau^- pairs in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

Understand

A search for neutral Higgs bosons decaying to pairs of tau leptons with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented.

  • The analysis is based on proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, recorded in 2010 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb^-1.
  • After signal selection, 276 events are observed in this data sample.
  • The observed number of events is consistent with the total expected background of 269 +/- 36 events.
