Abstract

We present new results of the search for W H → ℓ ν b over(b, ̄) production in p over(p, ̄) collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 1.96   TeV, based on a dataset with integrated luminosity of 0.44   fb-1. We combine these new results with previously published searches by the D0 collaboration, for WH and ZH production analyzed in the E{combining long solidus overlay}T b over(b, ̄) final state, for ZH (→ ℓ+- b over(b, ̄)) production, for WH (→ W W W) production, and for H (→ W W) direct production. No signal-like excess is observed either in the WH analysis or in the combination of all D0 Higgs boson analyses. We set 95% C.L. (expected) upper limits on σ (p over(p, ̄) → W H) × B (H → b over(b, ̄)) ranging from 1.6 (2.2) pb to 1.9 (3.3) pb for Higgs boson masses between 105 and 145 GeV, to be compared to the theoretical prediction of 0.13 pb for a Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson with mass mH = 115   GeV. After combination with the other D0 Higgs boson searches, we obtain for mH = 115   GeV an observed (expected) limit 8.5 (12.1) times higher than the SM predicted Higgs boson production cross section. For mH = 160   GeV, the corresponding observed (expected) ratio is 10.2 (9.0).
