DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Simon Connell (University of Johannesburg)\nIn the l
 arge mass region\, the dominant decay mode of the Higgs boson is to two W 
 bosons\, where the Higgs can be produced via either gluon fusion or vector
  boson fusion. Of the possible W decay modes\, the current analyses focus 
 on the W(->l nu)W(->l nu) decay channels where the lepton is either an ele
 ctron or muon. At a center of mass energy of 7 TeV\, the results from the 
 ATLAS detector are combined for each of the three modes ee\, e mu\, or mu 
 mu\, in order to maximise the signal sensitivity. We investigate the possi
 ble sensitivity gained in including a single hadronic tau channel (W->tau 
 nu->(tau_had nu) nu) in this analysis\, and discuss the method in comparis
 on to the standard H->WW->l nu l nu search. Our work currently focuses on 
 the hadronic tau identification and understanding the jet -> tau fake rate
