title = "Reconstruction and identification of τ lepton decays to hadrons and ντ at CMS",
abstract = "This paper describes the algorithms used by the CMS experiment to reconstruct and identify τ → hadrons + νtau; decays during Run 1 of the LHC. The performance of the algorithms is studied in proton-proton collisions recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1. The algorithms achieve an identification efficiency of 50-60\%, with misidentification rates for quark and gluon jets, electrons, and muons between per mille and per cent levels.",
