We combine searches by the CDF and D0 collaborations for a Higgs boson decaying to W+W-. The data correspond to an integrated total luminosity of 4.8 (CDF) and 5.4 (D0) fb-1 of p-pbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. No excess is observed above background expectation, and resulting limits on Higgs boson production exclude a standard-model Higgs boson in the mass range 162-166 GeV at the 95% C.L.

Factorization at the LHC: From PDFs to Initial State Jets (Ph.D. thesis) (2009, methodology): “me from Standard Model processes producing the same signature of hard objects possibly with additional jets. An example are top quarks decaying into W plus b-jet, which is a major background for H!WW [5]. When reconstructing masses and decay chains of new-physics particles additional jets can cause ”

Factorization at the LHC: From parton distribution functions to initial state jets (2010, methodology): “It should be emphasized that Tevatron Higgs searches, which exclude the range mH = 162−166 GeV at 95% confidence level [5–7], already analyse their data using a jet algorithm and Monte Carlo to implement a jet veto on jets with pT ≥ 15 GeV and |ηj | ≤ 2.”
