Abstract
Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the decay mode H→ZZ→2l2τ, where l = μ, e, is presented based on CMS data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.1 fb − 1 at \(\sqrt s = 7\) TeV. No evidence is found for a significant deviation from Standard Model expectations anywhere in the ZZ mass range considered in this analysis. An upper limit at 95% CL is placed on the product of the cross-section and decay branching ratio for the Higgs boson decaying with Standard Model-like couplings, which excludes cross-sections of about ten times the expected value for Higgs boson masses in the range 200 < m H < 400 GeV/c2.
