Novel inclusive search for the Higgs boson in the four-lepton final state at CDF

Abstract: An inclusive search for the standard model Higgs boson using the four-lepton final state in protonantiproton collisions produced by the Tevatron at ffiffis p ¼ 1:96 TeV is conducted. The data are recorded by the CDF II detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 9:7 fb1. Three distinct Higgs decay modes, namely ZZ, WW, and , are simultaneously probed. Nine potential signal events are selected and found to be consistent with the background expectation. We set a 95% credibility limit on the production cross section times the branching ratio and subsequent decay to the four-lepton final state for hypothetical Higgs boson masses between 120 GeV=c2 and 300 GeV=c2.
