Findings

Combined limits on MSSM Higgs production are established.

Enhanced sensitivity compared to individual experiments.

Constraints placed on MSSM parameter space.

Abstract

We present combined results on the search for neutral supersymmetric Higgs bosons with data collected at the CDF and D0 experiments. Data were collected in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV during Run II of the Tevatron. The searches considered cover the main production and decay mechanisms for Higgs bosons in tau lepton and bottom quark final states. The resulting combination is interpreted in the context of different scenarios within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model.
