Search for the standard model Higgs boson in lν + bb-bar final states in 9.7 fb-1 of pp-bar collisions with the D0 detector

Description

Searches for the Higgs boson have started as soon as the underlying model for particle mass generation has been proposed, and the search went on for several decades at LEP, Tevatron and LHC. Last year the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have reported the observation of a new boson. At the same time the CDF and D0 Collaborations reported combined evidence for a particle, with a mass consistent with that of the new boson observed at LHC. This thesis presents the search by the D0 collaboration for the SM Higgs boson using events containing one isolated charged lepton (l = e or μ), a significant imbalance in transverse energy, and two or more jets, which is part of the Tevatron Higgs combination.

Abstract (French)

Les recherches pour le boson de Higgs ont commence des que le modele sous-jacent pour la generation de masse de particules a ete propose et la recherche a continue pendant plusieurs decennies au LEP, au Tevatron et au LHC. L'an dernier, les Collaborations ATLAS et CMS au Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ont rapporte l'observation d'un nouveau boson. Dans le meme temps, la CDF et D0 Collaborations ont rapporte des preuves combinees pour une particule, avec une masse compatible avec celle du nouveau boson observe au LHC. Cette these presente la recherche par la collaboration D0 pour le boson de Higgs de SM en utilisant des evenements contenant un lepton charge isole (l = e ou μ), un desequilibre significatif en energie transversale et deux jets ou plus, qui fait partie de la combinaison Higgs au Tevatron.
