Abstract

We combine searches by the CDF and D0 Collaborations for the standard model Higgs boson with mass in the range 90--200 GeV/c2/c^2 produced in the gluon-gluon fusion, WHWH, ZHZH, ttˉHt{\bar{t}}H, and vector boson fusion processes, and decaying in the HbbˉH\rightarrow b{\bar{b}}, HW+WH\rightarrow W^+W^-, HZZH\rightarrow ZZ, Hτ+τH\rightarrow\tau^+\tau^-, and HγγH\rightarrow \gamma\gamma modes. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of up to 10 fb1^{-1} and were collected at the Fermilab Tevatron in ppˉp{\bar{p}} collisions at s=1.96\sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. The searches are also interpreted in the context of fermiophobic and fourth generation models. We observe a significant excess of events in the mass range between 115 and 140 GeV/c2c^2. The local significance corresponds to 3.0 standard deviations at mH=125m_H=125 GeV/c2c^2, consistent with the mass of the Higgs boson observed at the LHC, and we expect a local significance of 1.9 standard deviations. We separately combine searches for HbbˉH \to b\bar{b}, HW+WH \to W^+W^-, Hτ+τH\rightarrow\tau^+\tau^-, and HγγH\rightarrow\gamma\gamma. The observed signal strengths in all channels are consistent with the presence of a standard model Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV/c2c^2.
