Search for Higgs bosons decaying to $\tau\tau$ pairs in $p\bar {p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV

We present a search for the production of neutral Higgs bosons decaying into τ+τ− pairs in pp¯ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb −1 , were collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We set upper limits at the 95% C.L. on the product of production cross section and branching ratio for a scalar resonance decaying into τ+τ− pairs, and we interpret these limits as limits on the production of Higgs bosons in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and as constraints in the MSSM parameter space.
