Title:     Searching for Higgs Boson Decays to 4 Taus

Abstract: A light Higgs boson with a mass < 115 GeV, may have escaped detection at LEP if it decayed in a non-standard way. Such a light Higgs boson is well-motivated from the theoretical point of view and fits nicely with electroweak precision measurements. Many exotic decay channels have already been excluded, and in particular OPAL has ruled out h->4tau's up to a higgs mass of 86 GeV. In this talk, I will describe (preliminary) results from a recent analysis made with ALEPH data looking for h->4tau's at higher masses. I will discuss the implications of this analysis and comment on other planned searches.
