Abstract

A search for the standard model Higgs boson (H) is performed using data corresponding to 9.7 fb-1 of pp collisions at √s=1.96 TeV collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We consider final states containing one lepton (e or μ), missing transverse energy, and exactly two or three jets. Our search is primarily sensitive to the processes H ->W^+W^- ->lνq'q, where the H is produced by either gluon fusion or weak-boson fusion, and where one W decays leptonically into a charged lepton plus neutrino and the other W decays hardronically into a pair of quarks. The search is also sensitive to other Higgs boson channels with different production process, but similar final states such as WH ->lνbb. To improve the signal sensitivity, we focus on making optimal use of available kinematic information by dividing the data into orthogonal sub-samples and identifying specific kinematic variables to perform a multivariate analysis for each sample.
