Search for High Mass Standard Model Higgs at the Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on searches for a standard model (SM) Higgs boson in p(̄p) collisions at a center of mass energy √ s = 1.96 TeV with the CDF and DØ detectors using an integrated luminosity of more than 3.0 fb. For a SM Higgs with mass greater than 135 GeV/c, the dominant decay mode is two W bosons and the searches presented are based upon the subsequent electron and muon decays of the two W bosons. Significant improvement in background modeling and signal predictions have been implemented since previous preliminary results. No significant excess is observed, and limits on standard model Higgs production are calculated. The observed 95% confidence level upper limits are found to be a factor of 1.63 (2.0) higher than the predicted SM cross section at mH = 165 GeV/c 2 for the CDF (DØ ) experiment while the expected limits are a factor of 1.66 (1.9) higher than the predicted SM cross section.

Search for high mass Standard Model Higgs bosons at the Tevatron in the main channels
Up to 8.2 fb −1 of data collected at the Tevatron experiments, CDF and DØ, have been analyzed to search for the Standard Model Higgs boson. We present here the results of the di-leptons + missing transverse energy channels, which probe the high mass range, m H > 135 GeV, for the Higgs particle.
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 کاملTheoretical Status of Higgs Production at Hadron Colliders in the Standard Model
The search for the Higgs boson, the last missing particle in the Standard Model (SM) responsible for the electroweak symmetry breaking, is a primary goal of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and is a central part of Fermilab’s Tevatron program. In the Standard Model, mass generation is triggered by the Higgs mechanism, which predicts the existence of one scalar particle, the Higgs boson [1]...
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 کاملOn the detectability of the CMSSM light Higgs boson at the Tevatron
Abstract: We examine the prospects of detecting the light Higgs scalar h of the Constrained MSSM at the Tevatron. To this end we explore large ranges of the CMSSM parameter space with μ > 0 using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique, and apply all relevant collider and cosmological constraints including their uncertainties, as well as those of the Standard Model parameters. Using the formalism ...
متن کاملHiggs Searches at the Tevatron
We report on the status of Higgs boson searches at the Tevatron collider as of summer 2011. CDF and DØ perform Higgs searches in numerous final states corresponding to different potential production and decay modes of the Higgs in the context of both standard model (SM) production and other theoretical models. Based on current datasets we observe no excesses consistent with a Higgs signal and p...
