We give an overview of Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson studies performed at the CDF and D∅ experiments at the Tevatron proton–antiproton collider. Combining the results of many individual analyses, most of which use the full data set available, an excess with a significance of 3.0 standard deviations with respect to the SM hypothesis is observed at a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV /c2. At that mass, the combined best-fit cross-section is consistent with the SM prediction. Constraints are also placed on the Higgs boson couplings with fermions and electroweak vector bosons and are consistent with the SM predictions within the uncertainties.

We present the latest results on searches for the standard and beyond-the-standard model Higgs bosons in proton-antiproton collisions at [Formula: see text] by the CDF and DØ experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron. No significant excess is observed above the expected background, and the cross section limits for the Higgs bosons are calculated. It is noticed that the standard model Higgs boson in the mass range 163 – 166 GeV/c2 is excluded at the 95% C.L.

We present the results of direct searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Tevatron. Results are derived from the complete Tevatron Run II dataset, with a measured integrated luminosity of 10 fb-1 of proton–antiproton data. The searches are performed for assumed Higgs masses between 90 and 200 GeV /c2. We observe an excess of events in the data compared with the background predictions, which is most significant in the mass range between 115 and 135 GeV /c2, consistent with the Higgs-like particle recently observed by ATLAS and CMS. The largest local significance is 2.7 standard deviations, corresponding to a global significance of 2.2 standard deviations. We also combine separate searches for [Formula: see text] and H→W+W-, and find that the excess is concentrated in the [Formula: see text] channel, although the results in the H→W+W- channel are still consistent with the possible presence of a low-mass Higgs boson.

Abstract The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS reports a study of a sample of 4 × 109 tagged π0 mesons from K+ → π+π0(γ), searching for the decay of the π0 to invisible particles. No signal is observed in excess of the expected background fluctuations. An upper limit of 4.4 × 10−9 is set on the branching ratio at 90% confidence level, improving on previous results by a factor of 60. This result can also be interpreted as a model- independent upper limit on the branching ratio for the decay K+ → π+X, where X is a particle escaping detection with mass in the range 0.110–0.155 GeV/c2 and rest lifetime greater than 100 ps. Model-dependent upper limits are obtained assuming X to be an axion-like particle with dominant fermion couplings or a dark scalar mixing with the Standard Model Higgs boson.
