Combination of Tevatron searches for the standard model Higgs boson in the W+W- decay mode
The CDF, the D0 Collaborations: T. Aaltonen, et al
TL;DR
This paper combines results from CDF and D0 experiments to search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying into W+W-, setting exclusion limits in the 162-166 GeV mass range based on Tevatron data.
Contribution
It provides a combined analysis of Tevatron data for Higgs to W+W- decay, improving exclusion limits in a specific mass range.
Findings
No significant excess observed above background.
Excluded Higgs mass range 162-166 GeV at 95% confidence level.
Combined data enhances sensitivity compared to individual analyses.
Abstract
We combine searches by the CDF and D0 collaborations for a Higgs boson decaying to W+W-. The data correspond to an integrated total luminosity of 4.8 (CDF) and 5.4 (D0) fb-1 of p-pbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. No excess is observed above background expectation, and resulting limits on Higgs boson production exclude a standard-model Higgs boson in the mass range 162-166 GeV at the 95% C.L.
