Standard Model Higgs Physics at a 4 TeV Upgraded Tevatron
Abstract
We compute an array of Standard Model Higgs boson () signals and backgrounds for a possible upgrade of the Tevatron to . Taking , and assuming a total accumulated luminosity of , we find that a Standard Model Higgs boson with could almost certainly be detected using the mode. A Higgs boson with mass between and or above almost certainly would not be seen. A Higgs boson with or has a decent chance of being detected in the mode. There would also be some possibility of discovering the in the mode for . Finally, hints of an event excess in the mode due to the might emerge for . Given the difficult nature of the Higgs boson signals for values beyond the reach of LEP-200, and the discontinuous range that could potentially be probed, justification of an upgrade of the Tevatron to on the basis of its potential for Standard Model Higgs boson discovery would seem inappropriate.
