Possible to observe Higgs at the Tevatron if it is light.
If the light Higgs exists Both Tevatron (2000 GeV pp collider)
and LEP 2 (200 GeV e+e- collider)produce them.
But hard to observe The Higgs coupling to stable matter is very small.
a low production rate H bb events are swamped by other processes.
a poor signal to background ratio

Searches for New Phenomenae.g. Large Extra Dimensions : search for Graviton exchange in the e+e- and Minv vs. cos* distributions
No evidence for Extra Dimensions (ED).
Set limits on the energy scale of extra dimensions: 1.0 TeV for ED=2 1.3 TeV for ED=7.

Tevatron Run IIHiggs Discovery Potential
Run IIa ~2fb-1 by 2003 potential increase ~50 we are at limit set by LEP 2 and should have a small
number of WH or ZH candidates if MH ~ 115 GeV.
Run IIb ~15 fb-1 by ~2007 We should have 3 coverage over most of mass range,
MH < 180 GeV.
** MSSM predict Mh < 130 GeV
spin ½ fermions spin 1 bosons
Higgs : spin 0 boson
Conclusions The origin of mass the Higgs boson
Indirect probe from precision Electroweak Measurements such as Mw, sin2w, Mz, Mtop.
The Higgs boson is around the corner ! Possible senarios in this decade
1. Discover Higgs bosons with MH < 130 GeV Is this the Standard Model Higgs ? If not, implies new physics
2. Discover Higgs bosons with MH > 130 GeV Rules out some extensions of the Standard Model Does it agree with Electroweak measurements ?
3. No discovery upto LHC Detectable effects appear in the production rate and properties of W boson
pairs at ~1 TeV. Discover SUSY particles Other new Phenomena Whatever the outcome,
It will be extremely interesting. At present, it is essentially an experimental question.
