Higgs boson searches at the Tevatron

Abstract

We present combined CDF and D0 searches for the Standard Model (SM) and Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) Higgs boson using up to 6.7 fb${}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity from 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron. Specialized searches for Higgs bosons produced via gluon fusion, associated boson production, and vector boson fusion, decaying to $b\bar{b}$, $W^{+}{W}^{-}$, ${\tau }^{+}{\tau }^{-}$, and $\gamma \gamma$ are combined to produce 95\% CL upper limits on SM Higgs production as a function of mass. Current Tevatron limits are shown, including a new exclusion for SM Higgs masses between 158 and 175 GeV$/c^2$. We also present prospects for future sensitivity.
