Title: Higgs boson discovery prospects at the Tevatron

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6983

Preliminary results from a Fermilab study of the sensitivity for Higgs boson production at the upgraded Tevatron are presented. The study extends previous results by systematically combining results for all decay channels, considering the production of higher mass Higgs bosons and interpreting the results in the context of super-symmetric Higgs production as well as Standard Model production. New analysis methods significantly improve the sensitivity. With 20 fb{sup {minus}1} of accumulated data, the Higgs discovery reach can be extended to M{sub H} = 180 GeV.
