Abstract/Summary:
A search for the standard model Higgs boson 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 and associated neutrinos. A data sample comprising of 5.0 fb--1 and 19.0 fb --1 from the 2011 and 2012 proton collision running periods at a center of mass of 7 and 8TeV, respectively, has been analyzed and 95% C.L. upper limits derived for Higgs masses of 110-135 GeV. vi.
