Combined CDF and DØ Upper Limits on Standard-Model Higgs-Boson Production

July, 2010

Preliminary Results

ICHEP 2010 Higgs Combination with integrated luminosies up to 6.7 fb^-1. The sensitivity-weighted average luminosity is 5.9 fb^-1 which is marked on the plots.
95% C.L. exclusion for SM Higgs with mass m_H between 158 and 175 GeV/c², and between 100 and 109 GeV/c².

Documentation: arXiv:1007.4587 [hep-ex]

The same note is available as CDF Note 10241 and, DØ Note 6096

Note for speakers: for the gg→H production cross section, please cite both D. de Florian and M. Grazzini, arXiv:0901.2427 [hep-ph] and C. Anastasiou, R. Boughezal, and F. Petriello, arXiv:0811.3458 [hep-ph]. Citations for all production cross sections used may be found in the combination note.
Please see our responses to concerns about the theoretical modeling of the SM gg→H signal.
