Tommaso Dorigo
TL;DR
This paper reports on the searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Tevatron, providing upper limits on production and projections for potential discovery or exclusion within specific mass ranges.
Contribution
It presents the first combined analysis of CDF and D0 data searching for the Higgs boson in multiple decay channels at the Tevatron.
Findings
Upper limits set on Higgs production cross section
Potential to discover a 115 GeV Higgs with full dataset by 2009
Exclusion of Higgs masses up to 135 GeV at 95% confidence level
Abstract
The CDF and D0 experiments at the Tevatron have searched for the Standard Model Higgs boson in data collected between 2001 and 2004. Upper limits have been placed on the production cross section times branching ratio to b-antib pairs or WW pairs as a function of the Higgs boson mass. Projections indicate that the Tevatron experiments have a chance of discovering a MH = 115 GeV Higgs with the total dataset foreseen by 2009, or excluding it at 95% C.L. up to a mass of 135 GeV.
