We present a search for a standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a W boson using 2.7 fb-1 of integrated luminosity of p anti-p collision data taken at s**(1/2) =1.96 TeV. Limits on the Higgs boson production rate are obtained for masses between 100 GeV/c2 and 150 GeV/c2. Through the use of multivariate techniques, the analysis achieves an observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limit of 5.6 (4.8) times the theoretically expected production cross section for a standard model Higgs boson with a mass of 115 GeV/c2.

Abstract

We present a search for a standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a W boson using 2.7 fb-1 of integrated luminosity of p anti-p collision data taken at s**(1/2) =1.96 TeV. Limits on the Higgs boson production rate are obtained for masses between 100 GeV/c2 and 150 GeV/c2. Through the use of multivariate techniques, the analysis achieves an observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limit of 5.6 (4.8) times the theoretically expected production cross section for a standard model Higgs boson with a mass of 115 GeV/c2.
