Abstract:
We study the production and detection of the standard-model Higgs boson at the Fermilab Tevatron. The most promising mode is WHWH and ZHZH associated production followed by leptonic decay of the weak vector bosons and HbbˉH\to b\bar b. It may be possible to detect a Higgs boson of mass mH=60m_H=60--80 GeV with 1000 pb 1pb~{-1} of integrated luminosity. We also study the signature for a non-standard ``bosonic'' Higgs boson whose dominant decay is to two photons. A signal is easily established with 100 pb 1pb~{-1} in the WHWH and ZHZH channels, with the weak vector bosons decaying leptonically or hadronically, up to mH=100m_H=100 GeV.
