Abstract

We present a search for standard model (SM) Higgs boson production using pp¯ collision data at s=1.96TeV, collected with the CDF II detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.8fb1. We search for Higgs bosons produced in all processes with a significant production rate and decaying to two W bosons. We find no evidence for SM Higgs boson production and place upper limits at the 95% confidence level on the SM production cross section (σH) for values of the Higgs boson mass (mH) in the range from 110 to 200 GeV. These limits are the most stringent for mH>130GeV and are 1.29 above the predicted value of σH for mH=165GeV.

First bounds on the Higgs boson from hadron colliders

Published 12 February 2010

The two experimental collaborations at the Fermilab Tevatron accelerator have published first results of searches for the Higgs boson, excluding parts of the otherwise allowed mass range.
