TL;DR
This paper assesses the potential for detecting a non-standard light Higgs boson decaying into two photons at Fermilab's Tevatron, analyzing various detection channels and expected limits based on different Higgs models.
Contribution
It provides the first detailed evaluation of the Tevatron's sensitivity to a light Higgs with a photon decay mode across multiple channels and models.
Findings
Projected limits on Higgs to gamma gamma branching ratio
Sensitivity estimates for different detection channels
Comparison of bosonic and topcolor Higgs models
Abstract
We evaluate the prospects for detecting a non-standard light Higgs boson with a significant branching ratio to two photons, in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron. We derive the reach for several channels: inclusive, jet and jets. We present the expected Run II limits on the branching ratio of as a function of the Higgs mass, for the case of ``bosonic'', as well as ``topcolor'' Higgs bosons.
