● “gauge symmetries”:U(1)Y x SU(2)L x SU(3)C
Massive W,Z gauge bosons
Scalar Higgs field, non-zero VEV● W,Z get masses through “Higgs mechanism”● Fermions can get Yukawa masses:
Higgs boson: excitation of the Higgs field - mH

Improving SensitivityWith no improvements, would
need much more luminosity to be sensitive:
● ~20 fb-1 at 115 GeV● ~7 fb-1 at 160 GeV
Expect 6.8 fb-1 by 2010
Improvements underway:● Di-jet mass resolution● Lepton efficiency● Further improvements in analysis technique...● Matrix Element techniques● Better b-tagging

ConclusionsDØ (with help from CDF) is closing in on the SM Higgs
● NN b-tagging, single/double b-tag, NN event selection, ...● May be sensitive to SM Higgs @160 GeV this winter
Continuing to improve our analysis techniques● Better di-b-jet mass res., lepton ID, background rejection, ...● Possible to be sensitive up to 200 GeV by 2010
The LHC starts this year● Light Higgs boson by ~2011: race with the Tevatron ?!● Also a huge opportunity for other new physics (SUSY, etc.)
An exciting time for high-energy physics!
