Feasibility of searches for a Higgs boson using HW+Wl+l + missing pT and high pT jets at the Fermilab Tevatron

Abstract
The sensitivity of standard model Higgs boson searches at the Tevatron experiments with a mass 135<MH<190GeV/c2 using the channel HW+Wl+lT(l=e,μ) is discussed. Three new event selections involving Higgs in association with one or two high PT hadronic jets are discussed. Using leading order matrix elements and a conservative cut-based analysis a 95% confidence level exclusion on σ×B(HW+W), 1.6 times larger than that predicted by the standard model for MH=165GeV/c2, may be achieved with 5fb1 of integrated luminosity. By combining these three event selections with the existing analysis, the sensitivity of CDF and D0 could improve significantly.
