Paper text:
in the standard model ( sm ) of particle physics the explanation for the finite masses of the weakly interacting @xmath0 and @xmath6 bosons is the process of electroweak symmetry breaking yielding a single higgs particle state .
the finite masses of fermions are then accounted for via their yukawa couplings to the higgs field . at tevatron @xmath1 collider energies , searches for sm higgs production using @xmath7 final states
are expected to be among the most sensitive to sm higgs production , most notably in the higgs mass range @xmath8 .
the requirement of a @xmath0 boson reconstructed in association with jets serves to reduce experimental backgrounds from qcd jet production processes , and improves sensitivity to signal .
the searches presented here are based on large luminosity data samples collected at the cdf and d0 experiments at the tevatron @xmath1 collider .
@xcite candidate @xmath9 and @xmath10 events are selected by requiring a single isolated lepton together with an associated imbalance in transverse energy in the events .
the higgs decay mode @xmath11 is used since it has the largest expected branching fraction in the studied mass regime . statistically independent ( orthogonal ) data samples are selected via the application of @xmath2-tagging .
multivariate techniques are then applied to suppress remaining search backgrounds in each sample .
finally , upper limits are derived for the product of the @xmath4 production cross section and branching ratios and reported in units of the sm prediction .
direct searches for the process @xmath12 at cern @xmath13 lep collider experiments already constrain the minimum sm higgs mass to @xmath14 at 95% confidence level .
in addition , a fit to precision electroweak measurements of the top - quark and w boson masses , from both tevatron @xmath1 and cern @xmath13 collider experiments , infer an upper limit of @xmath15 at 95% cl @xcite and more recently searches at the cern lhc @xmath16 collider experiments yield preliminary exclusions at larger higgs masses .
candidate @xmath9 and @xmath10 events are selected by requiring a single isolated lepton together with an associated imbalance in transverse energy in the events .
jets are reconstructed using iterative cone algorithms which make use of midpoints as additional seeds .
figure [ preselection](a ) shows the @xmath17 distribution of @xmath0 candidates selected in events with two large-@xmath17 centrally reconstructed leptons by the cdf collaboration.@xcite the search is based on a total integrated luminosity of @xmath18@xmath19 .
prior to the application of @xmath2-tagging , a total of four samples are selected using different leptonic angular and reconstruction criteria , each requiring two reconstructed large-@xmath17 jets .
the recently added fourth search sample is based on loose lepton selection criteria .
figure [ preselection](b ) shows the transverse energy imbalance in the @xmath0 candidate events in @xmath18@xmath19 of data selected by the d0 collaboration.@xcite four samples are selected prior to the application of @xmath2-tagging , by requiring either two or three reconstructed jets for each leptonic channel . the three - jet selected sample is included to allow for additional gluon radiation in the collision hard subprocess .
loose lepton selection criteria are used for both the electron and muon channel searches .
( 0,0)(0,0 ) ( -245,455 ) ( -40,455 ) ( 30,275 ) ( -245,275 )    the background contributions in each sample are normalized according to their theoretical predictions and/or modeled in separately selected control samples .
the pythia @xcite , alpgen @xcite or comphep @xcite event generators are used , with alpgen and comphep interfaced to pythia to account for subsequent hadronization according to the mlm factorization ( `` matching '' ) scheme.@xcite both the cdf and d0 selections include additional smaller sensitivities to @xmath20 decays , in which the @xmath21 subsequently decays into an electron or a muon .
in addition , candidate @xmath22 events in which one decay lepton passes and one fails the isolated lepton selection criteria used in @xmath23 searches are also selected .
background from multijet ( qcd ) production processes is studied separately using the data .
figure [ preselection](c ) shows the dijet invariant mass distribution of the d0 collaboration after application of a multivariate discriminant technique to further improve suppression of multijet background .
the cdf experiment employs a similar approach based on the super vector machine technique .
figure [ preselection](d ) shows the dijet invariant mass distribution for the loose selected lepton sample by the cdf experiment after applying recent improvements to improve dijet mass resolution .
the improvements , which are from 15% to 11% , have a direct impact in the procedure to set upper limits and are described in detail in @xcite .
a good description of the data by the sum of the expected search backgrounds is obtained in all cases .
( 0,0)(0,0 ) ( -140,415 ) ( -140,235 )
the events are further subdivided into statistically independent ( orthogonal ) samples through the application of @xmath2-tagging .
the obtained samples are of different sensitivities due to the different background contributions which remain in each sample .
the d0 collaboration uses a neural network approach to tag @xmath2-jets which is based on a total of seven input discriminating variables.@xcite two samples are selected from each of the previously selected two - jet and three - jet samples .
the first sample is selected by requiring two jets to be consistent with having been initiated by @xmath2-quarks . events that fail the first condition are used to select a second sample requiring a single @xmath2-tagged jet .
figure [ btagging](a ) shows the d0 dijet invariant mass distribution in the two - jet , two @xmath2-tagged sample ( the electron and muon leptonic channels are shown combined in the figure ) .
figure [ btagging](b ) shows the dijet invariant mass distribution in two - jet events that fail the two @xmath2-tag requirement and contain a single @xmath2-tagged jet . the expected signal contribution for a higgs mass @xmath5
is shown scaled by factors of 50 and 100 in each figure , respectively .
the cdf collaboration tag @xmath2-jets using a combination of three separate techniques ; ( 1 ) a neural network algorithm ( nn ) , ( 2 ) secondary vertex tagging ( st ) and ( 3 ) requiring that the probability for a jet to have originated from the primary vertex ( jp ) to be small .
four independent samples are selected , three of which require two @xmath2-tagged jets and one of which requires a single @xmath2-tagged jet .
the two - jet samples are selected using different combinations ( st - st , st - jp and st - nn ) of the @xmath2-tagging requirements .
( 0,0)(0,0 ) ( -235,285 ) ( -10,285 )
the remaining backgrounds in each @xmath2-tagged sample are suppressed through the application of multivariate techniques .
the cdf collaboration use a bayesian neural network ( bnn ) approach which is based on eight discriminating input variables .
the eight input event variables are studied and optimized separately for each of the orthogonally selected @xmath2-tagged samples .
figures [ mva](a ) and ( b ) show the output distributions obtained after applying the bnn to the cdf st - nn and st - jp @xmath2-tagged samples , respectively . in each distribution , the @xmath3 signal peaks at large discriminant output values , whereas the sample backgrounds are shifted towards small discriminant output values .
the four leptonic selections are shown combined in each figure and the expected @xmath4 signal contribution is shown scaled by a factor 5 .
the d0 collaboration use a boosted decision tree ( bdt ) approach , which is applied multiple times to each @xmath2-tagged sample to generate a random forest .
a total of 13 input variables are used for each decision tree .
these are randomly assigned from a total of 20 event input variables , which are studied and optimized in separate studies .
since the approach is able to discriminate against multiple background sources , the same 20 input event variables are used as discriminants for each of the orthogonally selected @xmath2-tagged samples .
upper limits are derived for product of the @xmath4 production cross section and branching ratios and reported in units of the sm prediction .
the output multivariate distributions described in the previous section are used as discriminating inputs in the limit derivation procedure .
figure [ cdf_limits ] shows the observed and expected upper limits of the cdf collaboration search .
the results are shown combined with an independent search based on a three - jet event selection by the cdf collaboration which uses a matrix method approach for backgrounds.@xcite the observed limits are derived for 11 discrete values of higgs mass @xmath24 .
the expected limits are shown by the dashed line and the bands incorporate the effect of the systematic and poisson statistical uncertainties .
the observed ( expected ) upper limits for a higgs mass @xmath5 are 2.65 ( 2.6 ) , respectively , and represent a 17% improvement in total sensitivity .
the observed and expected upper limits of the d0 collaboration search are shown in fig .
[ d0_limits ] .
the results are combined with a previously published d0 result , which is based on @xmath25 of analyzed data.@xcite the bands incorporate the effect of the systematic and poisson statistical uncertainties and the observed limits are again derived for 11 discrete values of higgs mass . the observed ( expected ) upper limits for a higgs mass of @xmath5 are 4.6 ( 3.5 ) , respectively , and the results represent an 11% improvement beyond those expected from the increase in analyzed luminosity alone .
searches for @xmath26 final states are particularly sensitive to sm higgs production at tevatron @xmath1 collider energies . the selection of event samples containing an isolated lepton , an imbalance in transverse energy in the events , and either one or two reconstructed jets consistent with having evolved from a @xmath2-quark , provides statistically independent data samples to search for @xmath3 candidates .
the observed ( expected ) limits for a higgs mass of @xmath5 are 2.65 ( 2.6 ) and 4.6 ( 3.5 ) for the cdf and d0 searches , respectively , and the results , which are based on large luminosity data samples collected by the cdf and d0 collaborations , continue to gain in sensitivity .

latest results are presented in the search for low mass standard model higgs production in association with a @xmath0 boson , based on large luminosity data samples collected at the cdf and d0 experiments at the fermilab tevatron @xmath1 collider . 
 the selection of event samples containing an isolated lepton , an imbalance in transverse energy in the events , and either one or two reconstructed jets consistent with having evolved from a @xmath2-quark , provides statistically independent data samples to search for @xmath3 candidates . 
 expected and observed upper limits are derived for the product of the @xmath4 production cross section and branching ratios and are reported in units of the standard model prediction . 
 the observed ( expected ) upper limits for a higgs mass @xmath5 are factors 2.65 ( 2.6 ) and 4.6 ( 3.5 ) above the standard model prediction for the cdf and d0 searches , respectively .
