Abstract

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), scheduled to start operation in 2006, is foreseen to provide in the first year of running a total of 1012\sim 10^{12} τ\tau leptons. CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) is a general-purpose experiment designed to study proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions at LHC. Even if the Susy particles and Higgs searches togheter with the B-physics present its main goal, the large amount of τ\tau-lepton, could allow a systematic study of tau-physics. We have performed a full simulation of CMS using GEANT 3 package and the object-oriented reconstruction program ORCA to study the sensitivity to neutrinoless tau decay τμ+μμ\tau \to \mu^+ \mu^- \mu^- and τμγ\tau \to \mu \gamma. We present the analysis developed for these channels and the results obtained.
