Tevatron Higgs results

Abstract

We present the combination of searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson, using up to 10 \invfb\ of $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrts$=1.96 TeV collected with the CDF and \dzero\ detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The major contributing channels are optimized for the main production modes, the associated production with a vector boson ($VH$, with $V=W,Z$), the vector boson fusion, and the gluon-gluon fusion, and the different decay modes $H\to b\bar{b}$, $H\to {\tau }^{+}{\tau }^{-}$, $H\to W^{+}{W}^{-}$, and $H\to \gamma \gamma$. A significant excess of events is observed in the mass range $115<M_H<140 \gev$. The local significance corresponds to 3.0 standard deviations at $m_H=125 \gev$, consistent with the mass of the new particle observed at the LHC. The observed signal strengths in all channels are consistent with the presence of a standard model Higgs boson of mass 125 \gev. We also present prospects for spin/parity tests to be performed in the $VH\to Vb\bar{b}$ channels.
