Description

The SM Higgs to tau tau decay has two dominating backgrounds: QCD and the irreducible background from Z decay. In the analysis I've been working with we've been trying to estimate both of these from data motivated by the potential of eliminating the systematics from Monte Carlo. I will give a short presentation on the methods used and on my work with the analysis.
