Abstract: A search for Higgs bosons in decay channels with two τ leptons in the final state isdescribed. The search is performed in the H→ττ channel with the subsequent decay of theτ pairs into μμ, eμ, μτh and eτh, where the subscript h indicated a hadronic decay of the τlepton. The results are interpreted in the context of the Standard Model (SM) and abenchmark scenario of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The analysisis performed on 5fb‐1 of data collected in 2011 with a centre of mass energy on 7TeV andon 5fb‐1 of data collected in 2012 with a centre of mass energy of 8TeV, corresponding to atotal integrated luminosity of 10fb‐1 recorded by the CMS experiment. No evidence ofsignal is observed in the tau‐pair invariant‐mass spectrum. For the SM upper limits are setat 95% confidence level on the production cross section. The MSSM analysis is performedon 5 fb‐1 2011 data and an upper limit is set on the tanβ as a function of the pseudoscalarHiggs boson mass mA.
