Search for high mass photon pairs in p{anti p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV
The authors present results of a search for diphoton resonances produced inclusively and in association with a vector boson using 100 pb{sup {minus}1} of p{anti p} collisions using the CDF detector. They set upper limits on the product of cross section times branching ratio for p{anti p} {r_arrow} {gamma}{gamma} {r_arrow} X and p{anti p} {r_arrow} {gamma}{gamma} {r_arrow} W/Z. Using a NLO prediction for associated production cross section of a Higgs with a vector boson (W or Z), they set an upper limit on the branching ratio for H {r_arrow} {gamma}{gamma}. They set a lower limit on the mass of a `bosophilic` Higgs boson (e.g. one which couples only to {gamma}, W, and Z bosons with Standard Model couplings) of 82 GeV/c{sup 2} at 95% C.L.
