DESCRIPTION:We combine results from the CDF and D0 Collaborations on direc
 t searches for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson (H) in ppbar collisions
  at the Fermilab Tevatron\, using 10 fb-1 of data. Searches are carried ou
 t for Higgs boson masses between 100 and 200 GeV. There is a significant e
 xcess of data events with respect to the background estimation in the mass
  range 115 < mH  < 135 GeV\, consistent with the Higgs-like particle rece
 ntly observed by ATLAS and CMS.\nAt mH = 120 GeV\, the p-value for a backg
 round fluctuation to produce this excess corresponds to a local (global) s
 ignificance of 3.0 (2.5) standard deviations. We also combine separately s
 earches for H--> bb and H --> WW. We find that the excess is concentrated 
 in the H --> bb channel\, appearing in the searches over a broad range of 
 mH\, as expected from the bb resolution in our detectors. The excess is mo
 st significant in the mass range between 120 and 135 GeV.  The largest lo
 cal significance is  3.3 standard deviations\, corresponding  to a globa
 l significance of 3.1 standard deviations. We interpret this as evidence f
 or the presence of a new particle consistent with  the standard model Hig
 gs boson\, which is produced in association with a weak vector boson and d
 ecays to a bottom-antibottom quark pair.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferen
