Searches for a High Mass Standard Model Higgs Boson at the Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
Higgs boson searches are commonly considered one of the main objectives of particle physics nowadays. The latest results obtained by the CDF and DØ collaborations are presented here when seatching for Higgs boson decaying into a W-boson pair, currently the most sensitive channel for masses greater than 130 GeV. The presented results are based on an integrated luminosity that ranges from 3.0 to 4.2 fb. No significant excess over expected background is observed and the 95% CL limits are set for a Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson for different mass hypotheses ranging from 100 GeV to 200 GeV. The combination of CDF and DØ results is also presented, which exclude for the first time a SM Higgs boson in the 160 < mH < 170 GeV mass range.

Searches for a High Mass Higgs Boson at the Tevatron
Recent results obtained by the CDF and DØ collaborations are presented here. These Tevatron Higgs searches look for a Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson decaying into W-boson pairs, with the W-bosons decaying into electron-neutrino or muon neutrino final states. In the mass range of 135 GeV/c to 200 GeV/c, the SM Higgs decays prominently into W-boson pairs. The presented results are based on an in...
متن کاملSearches and Prospects for Standard Model Higgs boson at the Tevatron
We report on results obtained at the Tevatron by the CDF and DØ collaborations up to June 2008 (2.4 fb−1), on searches for standard model (SM) Higgs bosons having a high mass (135-200 GeV). High mass Higgs bosons decay dominantly in WW ⋆ and the presented searches are performed in the leptonic decay modes of the W s. Both direct production (pp̄→ H) and associated production (pp̄→ WH) are studied ...
متن کاملSearches for the Standard Model Higgs Boson at the Tevatron
The CDF and DØ 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 ¯ b pairs or W + W − 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...
متن کاملSearches and Prospects for the Standard Model Higgs Boson at the Tevatron
The Higgs boson is the only elementary scalar particle expected in the standard model (SM). Its discovery would be a major success for the SM and would provide new experimental insights into the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism. Direct measurements at LEP have excluded a SM Higgs boson with a mass mH < 114.4 GeV at 95% C.L. but constraints from precision measurements nevertheless favor a...
متن کاملHiggs Physics: from LEP to a Future Linear Collider
New preliminary combined results from the LEP experiments on searches for the Higgs boson beyond the Standard Model are presented. The new determination of the top quark mass at the Tevatron in 2004 influences the interpretations of the LEP results in both, the Standard Model, and the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. Higgs boson physics will also be a major research area ...
متن کاملHiggs Searches at the Tevatron Jianming Qian
Searching for and potential discovery of Higgs boson(s) both within and beyond the standard model is perhaps the most visible physics goal of the current Fermilab Tevatron program. In this proceeding, recent results from both the CDF and DØ experiments based on analyses of datasets with integrated luminosities between 1.7 and 3.0 fb−1 are summarized. The combined Tevatron cross section upper li...
