Standard Model Higgs Boson Searches at the Tevatron

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2007-05-25 v1

Abstract

The CDF and D{\O} experiments at the Tevatron are currently the only capable of searching for the Standard Model Higgs boson. This article describes their most sensitive searches in the expected Higgs mass range, focusing on advanced methods used to extract the maximal sensitivity from the data. CDF presents newly updated results for HW+WH \to W^+W^- and ZHl+lbbˉZH \to l^+l^- b\bar{b}. D{\O}\ presents two new searches for WHlνbbˉWH \to l\nu b\bar{b}. These new analyses use the same 1 fb1^{-1} dataset as previous searches, but with improved techniques resulting in markedly improved sensitivity.
