J. Goldstein et al., p(p)over-bar -> t(t)over-bar-H: A discovery mode for the Higgs boson at the Fermilab Tevatron, PHYS REV L, 86(9), 2001, pp. 1694-1697
The production of a standard model Higgs boson in association with a top qu
ark pair at the upcoming high luminosity run (15 fb(-1) integrated luminosi
ty) of the Fermilab Tevatron (roots = 2.0 TeV) is revisited. For Higgs mass
es below 140 GeV we demonstrate that the production cross section times bra
nching ratio for H --> b (b) over bar decays yields a significant number of
events and that this mode is competitive with and complementary to the sea
rches using p (p) over bar --> WH,ZH associated production. For higher mass
Higgs bosons the H --> W+W- decays are more difficult but have the potenti
al to provide a few spectacular events.
