Status of the µ→τ Embedding Method — •Per Ahrens, Roger Wolf, and Günter Quast — Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Karlsruhe, Deutschland

In the µ→τ embedding method muons from selected Z→µµ events in data are replaced by simulated τ decays to estimate the background from Z→ττ events in Higgs boson searches in the di-τ final state at the LHC. After successful use with the LHC run-1 data of CMS, the method has been completely re-implemented to cope with the changed experimental environment and correspondingly adapted reconstruction software. The current status of the method is presented.
