Description

The latest results of the direct coupling of a standard model Higgs boson and tau leptons using events recorded by the CMS experiment at LHC in 2011 and 2012 are presented. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb-1 of pp collision data collected at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and 19.7 fb-1 collected at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. Results of a search for a MSSM neutral Higgs bosons decaying to tau pairs will also be briefly summarized.
