CDF Search for Higgs to WW* Production using a Combined Matrix Element and Neural Network Technique Public Page
Abstract
We present an analysis searching for Standard Model Higgs to WW*
production in dilepton plus MET channels using 2.4 fb-1 of integrated
luminosity. We find 661 candidates with an expectation of 626 +- 54 background
and 9.5 signal for Standard Model Higgs at 160 GeV/c2.
In order to maximize sensitivity, a combined Matrix Element
method and neural network approach is utilized to distinguish signal from background
processes.
The median expected 95% C.L. limit at a Higgs mass of 160 GeV/c2
is 2.5+1.0-0.7 times the Standard Model prediction at NNLL, while the observed limit is 1.6 times the Standard
Model prediction.
