Andre Sopczak
TL;DR
This paper reviews the progress in Higgs boson searches at Tevatron and LEP, highlighting recent limits and the outlook for LHC experiments in exploring Higgs properties.
Contribution
It summarizes the experimental constraints and limits on Higgs boson masses and couplings from Tevatron and LEP, and discusses future prospects at the LHC.
Findings
Tevatron extended the excluded SM Higgs mass range to 158-175 GeV.
Recent limits surpass previous LEP bounds at 95% CL.
Sensitivity estimates for the completion of Tevatron searches are provided.
Abstract
Over the last years the Tevatron Run-II has extended several limits on Higgs boson masses and coupling which were pioneered during the LEP accelerator operation between 1989 and 2000. Higgs boson searches will also be at the forefront of research at the LHC. This review concisely discusses the experimental constraints set by the CDF and D0 collaborations in summer 2010 at the beginning of the LHC era. Model-independent and model-dependent limits on Higgs boson masses and couplings have been set and interpretations are discussed both in the Standard Model and in extended models. Recently, the Tevatron has extended the excluded SM Higgs boson mass range (158-175 GeV) beyond the LEP limit at 95% CL. The experimental sensitivities are estimated for the completion of the Tevatron programme.
