Tevatron Higgs results

Abstract

We present the combination of searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson, using up to 10 ∈vfb\ of p p collisions at =1.96 TeV collected with the CDF and \ 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 b b, Hτ+τ-, H W+W-, and H γγ. A significant excess of events is observed in the mass range 115<MH<140 . The local significance corresponds to 3.0 standard deviations at mH=125 , 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 . We also present prospects for spin/parity tests to be performed in the VH V b b channels.
