Feasibility of Searches for a Higgs Boson using H->WW->ll+MET and High PT Jets at the Tevatron
arXiv:0708.2507 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.76.093007
Abstract
The sensitivity of Standard Model Higgs boson searches at the Tevatron experiments with a mass 135<MH<190 GeV using the channel H->WW->ll+MET (l=e,mu) is discussed. Three new event selections involving Higgs in association with one or two high PT hadronic jets are discussed. Using Leading Order Matrix Elements and a conservative cut-based analysis a 95% confidence level exclusion on sigmaxBR(H->WW), 1.6 times larger than that predicted by the Standard Model for MH=165 GeV, may be achieved with 5fb-1 of integrated luminosity. By combining these three event selections with the existing analysis, the sensitivity of CDF and D0 could improve significantly.
