Abstract

We study the observability for a Standard Model-like Higgs boson at an upgraded Tevatron via the modes ppˉggh\ww\ljjp \bar p \to gg \to h \to \ww \to \ljj and \ll. We find that with c. m. energy of 2 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 30 fb1^{-1} the signal may be observable for the mass range of 135\gev\lsim\mh\lsim180135 {\gev} \lsim \mh \lsim 180 GeV at a 35σ3-5\sigma statistical level. We conclude that the upgraded Tevatron may have the potential to detect a SM-like Higgs boson in the mass range from the LEP2 reach to 180 GeV.
