Search for the Standard Model Higgs Boson Produced in Association with a Z Boson in the Electron-Muon Final State and the Higgs Boson Decaying into Bottom Quarks

Abstract

A search for the standard model Higgs boson is presented in the associated production channel Z(ττ)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 fb-1 from

the 2011 and 2012 proton collision running periods at a center of mass

of 7 and 8 TeV, respectively, has been analyzed and 95% C.L. upper limits derived for Higgs masses of 110-135 GeV.
