Higgs Searches

Abstract

We present the status and prospects of Higgs searches at the Tevatron and the LHC. Results from the Tevatron are using up to 5/fb of data collected with the CDF and D0 detectors. The major contributing processes include associated production with vector bosons and gluon fusion. Improvements across the full mass range resulting from the larger data sets, improved analyses techniques and increased signal acceptance are discussed. Recent results exclude the SM Higgs boson in a mass range of 160 < mH < 170 GeV. Searches for the neutral MSSM Higgs boson in the region 90 < mA < 200 GeV exclude tanB values down to 30 for several benchmark scenarios.Comment: 6 pages, 13 figures, to be submitted in "XXIX Physics in Collision, Proceedings of the International Symposium in Kobe, Japan, August 30 - September 2, 2009
