Prospects of Discovering the Higgs Boson at the Tevatron

Abstract

We carry out an event generator based study to evaluate the usefulness of the the exclusive signature ``$e^{\pm }({\mu }^{\pm })+2$ bottom jets'' in discovering the Higgs boson at the Tevatron. Using an event generator, we show that with enough luminosity, one should be able to detect the Higgs boson up to the mass of about 130 GeV. We consider a slightly modified version of the above signature that includes one extra jet. This new signature is more useful because it increases the number of signal events significantly.
