Abstract

Results are presented on the study of the Higgs-like particle at a mass of 125 GeV decaying into final states consisting of either two taus, or a b antib quark pair. These are based on the full statistics of about 25 fb−1, collected in 2011 and 2012 at an energy of 7 and 8TeV, respectively, with the CMS experiment. Leptonic and hadronic decay channels for the tau leptons are included in the search. Different production channels namely inclusive, VBF and associated production have been studied. The b¯b decay channel is studied in associated production with W/Z bosons. The most recent results will be presented which confirm that the new boson couples to fermions with signal strengh close to prediction for a Standard Model-like Higgs boson. The combination of the latest CMS H → τ+τ− and H → b¯b results leads to an observation of the coupling of the new boson to fermions with 3.4(3.5) observed (expected) significance.
