Higgs Boson Production and Decay at the Tevatron *
نویسنده
چکیده
The theoretical status of Higgs boson production and decay at the Tevatron within the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension is reviewed. The focus will be on the evaluation of higher-order corrections to the production cross sections and their phenomenological implications.

Suggestions for Benchmark Scenarios for MSSM Higgs Boson Searches at Hadron Colliders∗
The Higgs boson search has shifted from LEP2 to the Tevatron and will subsequently move to the LHC. Due to the different initial states, the Higgs production and decay channels relevant for Higgs boson searches were different at LEP2 to what they are at hadron colliders. We suggest new benchmark scenarios for the MSSM Higgs boson search at hadron colliders that exemplify the phenomenology of di...
متن کاملMSSM Higgs Boson Searches at the Tevatron and the LHC: Impact of Different Benchmark Scenarios
The Higgs boson search has shifted from LEP2 to the Tevatron and will subsequently move to the LHC. The current limits from the Tevatron and the prospective sensitivities at the LHC are often interpreted in specific MSSM scenarios. For heavy Higgs boson production and subsequent decay into bb̄ or ττ, the present Tevatron data allow to set limits in the MA–tan β plane for small MA and large tanβ ...
متن کاملImproving the discovery potential of charged Higgs bosons at Tevatron Run 2
By exploiting the full process pp̄ → tb̄H, in place of the standard Monte Carlo procedure of factorising production and decay, pp̄ → tt̄ followed by t̄ → b̄H, we show how to improve the discovery reach of the Tevatron (Run 2) in charged Higgs boson searches, in the large tan β region. This is achieved in conjunction with dedicated cuts on a ‘transverse mass’ distribution sensitive to the Higgs boson ...
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...
متن کاملPopping out the Higgs boson off vacuum at Tevatron and LHC
In the prospect of diffractive Higgs production at the LHC collider, we give an extensive study of Higgs boson, dijet, diphoton and dilepton production at hadronic colliders via diffraction at both hadron vertices. Our model, based on non factorizable Pomeron exchange, describes well the observed dijet rate observed at Tevatron Run I. Taking the absolute normalization from data, our predictions...
متن کاملHiggs bosons at the Fermilab Tevatron.
We study the production and detection of the standard-model Higgs boson at the Fermilab Tevatron. The most promising mode is WH and ZH associated production followed by leptonic decay of the weak vector bosons and H → bb̄. It may be possible to detect a Higgs boson of mass mH = 60–80 GeV with 1000 pb−1 of integrated luminosity. We also study the signature for a non-standard “bosonic” Higgs boson...
