University of Virginia

*Title of Talk:*

/“The Search for the Higgs boson with the Full Tevatron Dataset”/

*Abstract:*

I present the results from the Tevatron on the direct search for a
standard model Higgs boson produced in p-pbar collisions at a center of
mass energy of 1.96 TeV, using the data corresponding to integrated
luminosity of up to 10fb−1. The searches are performed in the Higgs
boson mass range from 100 to 200 GeV/c2. The dominant decay channels, H
→ bb and H → W W , are combined with al the secondary channels and
significant analysis improvements have been included. A significant
excess of data events compared to the background prediction is reported.
The highest local significance is 3.0 standard deviations while global
significance for such an excess anywhere in the full mass range
investigated is approximately 2.5 standard deviations. Both experiments
at the Large Hadron Collider have recently reported excesses of greater
than 5 standard deviations in their searches for the Higgs boson. The
complementarity and relevance of the Tevatron results are discussed in
the context of this recent discovery at the LHC.
