ZHbb searches at Tevatron
For the 120 GeV Higgs mass in ±20 GeV mass window around the expected reconstructed peak value (Dijet mass resolution is ~17 %):
SM background prediction: 4.36 1.02 events QCD (11.4%), Top (20.5%), EWK (18.2%), Light flavor mistag(50%)Observed: 6 events.
Control Region 2 – EWK Require min. 1 lepton Missing ET and 2nd leading jets are not parallel Optimized cuts are tested in this region before looking at the real data in the Signal Region
Control Region 1 – QCD h.f. Veto events with identified leptons Missing ET and 2nd leading jet are parallel
Extended Signal Region (no optimization) Veto events with leptons Missing ET and 2nd leading jet are not parallel Cut optimization is performed in this region based on MC simulation before looking at the data

Tevatron SM Higgs Sensitivity: expectations two years ago
Prospects updated in 2003 in the low Higgs mass region W(Z) H l(,ll) bb
better detector understanding optimization of analysis
Sensitivity in the mass region above LEP limit (114.4 GeV ) starts at ~2 fb-1
With 8 fb-1: exclusion 115-135 GeV & 145-180 GeV, 5 - 3 sigma discovery/evidence @ 115 – 130 GeV Meanwhile understanding detectors better, optimizing analysis techniques measuring SM backgrounds (Zb, WW, Wbb) Placing first Higgs limits which can be compared to the prospects

Sensitivity with existing Tevatron analyses
Cross-Section times branching fraction limitas a multiple of the SM rate
We should be around 6 at low masses, not around 12-20 with the current lumi (0.3 fb-1).
Where can we gain ?

So how do we get there?
Step 1 (for early 2006) WH/ZH:
Optimize b-tagging (Looser) Combine single and double tag S/sqrt(B) is 40-50% in single tag compared to double tag. Equivalent to 20% more lumi than double tag alone.
WH(e): include Phi-cracks WH(): combine single- and +jets trigger ZH : optimize Selection
DØDØ
Step 2 WH/ZH:
include WHWWW and Z l+l- channel ! (*1.3)use Neural Net Tagger (*1.34*1.34)use Neural Net Selection (*1.8) use TrackCalJets mass resolution (*1.3)
WH(e): include End-Cap calorimeter WH(): improve QCD rejection loosen b-tagWH : include W (*1.4)
All these improvements will All these improvements will bring us to the expected level bring us to the expected level of sensitivityof sensitivity

Improving Jet Energy Resolution Using Tracks
Idea Reconstruct calorimeter-based jets (0.5 cone) Use track momentum measurements to set an accurate scale for hadron response for each hadron in the jet.
Proposed in CMSCMS Note 2004/015, O.Kodolova et al. “Jet energy correction with charged particle tracks in CMS”
Tevatron provides an excellent opportunity to test and optimize this technique on real collider data.
Out-Jet
In-Jet
Propagate tracks to the calorimeter surface. dca(xy) < 0.5cm, dca(z) < 1.0 cm.

QCD Higher Order Corrections in H + 1jet at the LHCLow mass Higgs searches with H in association with high PT jets are crucial at the LHC
NLO QCD corrections for VBF signal and Z+jets in H+2jet analysis have been considered in the past
QCD Higher order corrections have not been
evaluated within the H+1jet analysis neither for signal nor for the Z+jets background
NLO corrections are evaluated here with MCFMAlso address the impact of Z+2-3jet tree level ME on Z+jets using ALPGEN/SHERPA
QCD HO corrections are large in the
region of the phase space where the signal-to-background is optimal for searchesQCD Z+1j is enhanced by a factor of 2 Signal, H+1j is enhanced by a factor 1.75Need to re-optimize the analysisSignal significance does not decrease

Summary and outlook
Much has been learned from Tevatron Higgs searches on various challenges and issues faced at hadron collider environment
We have also learned how important current experience is to actually achieve expected performance
Tevatron will provide important information on Higgs sector before LHC. For low mass Higgs searched Tevatron is complementary to LHC.
We are able to test LHC predictions using Tevatron data and provide important feadback
The plan is to document our experience and findings in the Workshop proceeding (beginning of next year)
