Description
The algorithm used for reconstruction and identication of hadronic tau decays
by the CMS experiment at the LHC is presented. The tau reconstruction in
CMS takes advantage of the particle-flow algorithm which allows to reconstruct
individual hadronic decay modes. The performance of the algorithm in terms
of tau ID eciency, rate of jet -> tau, e -> tau and mu -> tau fakes and in terms of
tau energy reconstruction is measured in pp collision data recorded in 2012 at
a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of
19:7 fb-1.
