Combined Upper Limit for SM Higgs at the Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
Higgs Tevatron combination, more data and new channels (WH → τνbb̄, VH → ττbb̄/ j jττ , VH → j jbb̄, tt̄H → tt̄bb̄) have been added. Most previously used channels have been reanalyzed to gain sensitivity. We use the latest parton distribution functions and gg → H theoretical cross sections when comparing our limits to the SM predictions. With 2.0-3.6 fb−1 of data analyzed at CDF, and 0.9-4.2 fb−1 at DØ, the 95% C.L. upper limits on Higgs boson production are a factor of 2.5 (0.86) times the SM cross section for a Higgs boson mass of mH =115 (165) GeV/c2.

Higgs Searches at the Tevatron a
The Higgs boson is the last missing particle in the Standard Model (SM). Its mass is not determined by the SM, there are however several experimental constraints which bound the Higgs mass to values which are within the reach of the Tevatron collider. Lower bounds are given from direct searches at LEP2. These results exclude Higgs masses below 114.4 GeV at the 95% Confidence Level (C.L.) 1. An ...
متن کاملComments on the possible discovery of the Higgs boson with mass ∼ 160 GeV at the Tevatron
The consequences of the possible discovery of the Higgs boson with a mass around 160 180 GeV at the Tevatron are discussed. Most probably, the search for the Higgs boson will be finalized within few years. Its discovery will close the large hole in the foundation of the Standard Model (SM) of elementary particles. At the end of 2000, just before the LEP collider was shut down, the four experime...
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 کاملCombined CDF and DØ Upper Limits on Standard Model Higgs - Boson Production with up
We combine results from CDF and DØ on direct searches for a standard model (SM) Higgs boson (H) in p¯ p collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron at √ s = 1.96 TeV. Compared to the previous Higgs Tevatron combination, more data and new channels (W H → τ νb ¯ b, V H → τ τ b ¯ b/jjτ τ , V H → jjb ¯ b, t ¯ tH → t ¯ tb ¯ b) have been added. Most previously used channels have been reanalyzed to gain sensi...
متن کاملCombined CDF and D 0 Upper Limits on Standard Model Higgs Boson Production with up to 8
We combine results from CDF and D0's direct searches for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson (H) produced in p¯ p collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron at √ s = 1.96 TeV. The results presented here include those channels which are most sensitive to Higgs bosons with mass between 130 and 200 GeV/c 2 , namely searches targeted at Higgs boson decays to W + W − , although acceptance for decays into τ...
