Extending the Higgs Boson Reach at the Upgraded Fermilab Tevatron

Abstract

We study the observability for a Standard Model-like Higgs boson at an upgraded Tevatron via the modes $p \bar p \to gg \to h \to \ww \to \ljj$ and $\ll$. We find that with c. m. energy of 2 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 30 fb${}^{-1}$ the signal may be observable for the mass range of $135 {\gev} \lsim \mh \lsim 180$ GeV at a $3-5\sigma$ statistical level. We conclude that the upgraded Tevatron may have the potential to detect a SM-like Higgs boson in the mass range from the LEP2 reach to 180 GeV.
