Heavy Neutral Particle Decays to Tau Pairs Detected with CMS in Proton Collisions at \sqrt{s} = 7TeV /

The work presented in this thesis spans a wide range of experimental particle physics subjects, starting from level-1 trigger electronics to the final results of the search for Higgs boson decay and to tau lepton pairs. The thesis describes an innovative reconstruction algorithm for tau decays and d...
