Abstract

In these proceedings to the LHCP conference 2013 results are presented on the study of the Higgs like particle at a mass of 125 GeV decaying into final states consisting of either τ⁺τ⁻, or a $b \bar{b}$ $b\bar b$ quark pair, based on the full statistics of about 24 fb⁻¹, collected in 2011 and 2012 at 7 and 8 TeV respectively with the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Leptonic and hadronic decay channels for the τ-lepton are included in the search. Different production channels namely gluon fusion, vector boson fusion (VBF) and associated production with W/Z bosons have been studied τ⁺τ⁻ final states. The $b \bar{b}$ $b\bar b$ decay channel is studied in VBF as well as in associated production with W/Z and top quarks.
