  A search for neutral MSSM Higgs bosons in pp collisions at the LHC at a
center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. The results are based on a data
sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 inverse picobarns
recorded by the CMS experiment. The search uses decays of the Higgs bosons to
tau pairs. No excess is observed in the tau-pair invariant-mass spectrum. The
resulting upper limits on the Higgs boson production cross section times
branching fraction to tau pairs, as a function of the pseudoscalar Higgs boson
mass, yield stringent new bounds in the MSSM parameter space.
