This paper reports updated search results for the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Tevatron, including limits, couplings, and consistency with a 125 GeV/c2 Higgs, confirming Standard Model predictions.
Contribution
It provides the latest combined limits and coupling constraints for the Higgs boson at the Tevatron, with an emphasis on the updated CDF MET+bb analysis.
Findings
Limits at 95% credibility level are set for the Higgs cross section.
Results are consistent with a 125 GeV/c2 Higgs boson.
Constraints on Higgs couplings to fermions and vector bosons are provided.
Abstract
Updated Standard Model Higgs boson search results from the Tevatron experiments are presented. We focus on the updated CDF MET+bb result, where a significant shift in observed limits is explained. For the Tevatron combinations, upper limits at 95% credibility level and best-fit values for the Higgs boson cross section times branching ratio are presented. We also place constraints on the Higgs couplings to fermions and electroweak vector bosons. All results are consistent with the existence of a Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV/c2, and with the Standard-Model predictions associated with that assumption.
