We report on a search for the standard model Higgs boson
decaying into pairs of τ leptons in pp̅ collisions produced by the
Tevatron at √s=1.96 TeV. The analyzed data sample was recorded
by the CDFII detector and corresponds to an integrated luminosity
of 6.0 fb-1. The search is performed in the final state with
one τ decaying leptonically and the second one identified through
its semihadronic decay. Since no significant excess is observed,
a 95% credibility level upper limit on the production cross section
times branching ratio to the ττ final state is set for hypothetical
Higgs boson masses between 100 and 150 GeV/c2. For a Higgs boson
of 120 GeV/c2 the observed (expected) limit is 14.6 (15.3) the
predicted value.
