improve our sensitivity to a Higgs boson signal beyond the expected gains from simply adding<br />

new events to our data set. With the full Tevatron data set analyzed, we expect to exceed 95%<br />

CL exclusion sensitivity for all allowed values of mH <strong>and</strong> will be pushing for 3σ signal sensitivity<br />

at mH = 115 GeV.<br />
