Search for Higgs Bosons Decaying to Tau Pairs inpp¯Collisions with the D0 Detector

We present a search for the production of neutral Higgs bosons $\varphi$ decaying into ${\tau }^{+}{\tau }^{-}$ final states in $p\overline{p}$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately $1{\mathrm{fb}}^{-1}$, were collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Limits on the production cross section times branching ratio are set. The results are interpreted in the minimal supersymmetric standard model yielding limits that are the most stringent to date at hadron colliders.
