Combination of searches for the Higgs boson using the full CDF data set    [PDF]

CDF Collaboration, T. Aaltonen, others

We present a combination of searches for the standard model Higgs boson using the full CDF Run II data set, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9.45--10.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected from $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV $p{\bar{p}}$ collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron. The searches consider Higgs boson production from gluon-gluon fusion, vector-boson fusion, and associated production with either a $W$ or $Z$ boson or a $t{\bar{t}}$ pair. Depending on the production mode, Higgs boson decays to $W^+W^-$, $ZZ$, $b{\bar{b}}$, $\tau^+\tau^-$, and $\gamma\gamma$ are examined. We search for a Higgs boson with masses ($m_H$) in the range 90--200 GeV/$c^2$. In the absence of a signal, we expect based on combined search sensitivity to exclude at the 95% credibility level the mass regions $90View original: http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.6668
