For the most sensitive sub-channel which have dilepton mass outsi<strong>de</strong> the Z-boson mass<br />

window, the expected yield of signal is 0.9 events <strong>and</strong> 15 background events. The expected limit<br />

on Higgs production is 6.6·σSM for this sub-channel.<br />

3 Limits on Higgs production<br />

We combine all the above mentioned channels from each experiment. Since no excess of data<br />

above the background expectations is seen by CDF experiment nor the D0 experiment, we place<br />

the limits on SM Higgs boson production cross section. The limits are presented as a ratio of the<br />

95% C.L. observed (<strong>and</strong> expected) limits to the SM Higgs boson production cross section <strong>and</strong><br />

as a function of Higgs boson mass, see Fig. 2. When the ratio is lower than 1.0, we exclu<strong>de</strong> the<br />

SM Higgs boson at 95% C.L. for a given mass. CDF collaboration exclu<strong>de</strong>s the SM Higgs boson<br />

in mass range 158 – 168 GeV/c 2 (with expected exclusion being 159 – 168 GeV/c 2 ) while D0<br />

exclu<strong>de</strong>s the mass range of 163 – 168 GeV/c 2 (with expected exclusion being 160 – 168 GeV/c 2 ).<br />

4 Conclusion<br />

The CDF <strong>and</strong> D0 collaborations search for the high-mass st<strong>and</strong>ard mo<strong>de</strong>l Higgs boson in many<br />

different channels. The CDF collaboration exclu<strong>de</strong>s the existence of Higgs boson at 95% C.L.<br />

with the mass in the range of 158 – 168 GeV/c 2 using integrated luminosity of up to 7.1 fb −1<br />

while D0 collaboration exclu<strong>de</strong>s the mass range of 163 – 168 GeV/c 2 based on luminosity of up<br />

to 8.2 fb −1 .<br />

The combination of CDF <strong>and</strong> D0 results leads to Higgs boson exclusion in the mass range<br />

of 158 – 173 GeV/c 2 , see 3 .<br />
