TL;DR
This paper reports on the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Tevatron, analyzing up to 10 fb-1 of proton-antiproton collision data, observing a modest excess in the mass range 105-145 GeV/c2.
Contribution
It provides the first combined analysis of Higgs searches at the Tevatron with extensive data from CDF and D0 detectors, highlighting a potential signal in the low-mass region.
Findings
Observed a broad excess between 105 and 145 GeV/c2
Global significance of 2.2 standard deviations
Analysis based on up to 10 fb-1 of data
Abstract
We present results from the search for a standard model Higgs boson using data corresponding up to 10 fb-1 of proton-antiproton collision data produced by the Fermilab Tevatron at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data were recorded by the CDF and D0 Detectors between March 2001 and September of 2011. A broad excess is observed between 105 < mH < 145 GeV/c2 with a global significance of 2.2 standard deviations relative to the background-only hypothesis.
