We present a search for associated production of a standard model (SM) Higgs boson and a Z boson where the Z decays to two leptons and the Higgs decays into a pair of b quarks, p-pbar->ZH->llbb. We explore techniques not currently used in other Higgs searches at CDF. We utilize SM matrix elements to calculate event probabilities rather than utilizing them as a discriminant variable. Using...

We present a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a W boson in p-pbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. The search is performed in the WH->lnubb channel using the latest amount of data collected by the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. An artificial neural network is employed to improve the separation between signal and...

We present a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a Z or a W boson in p-pbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. The search is made using the latest amount of data collected by the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We consider the scenario where the Higgs boson decays into a b-bbar pair and either the Z decays into neutrinos or...

We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson in events with two tau leptons in p-pbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. The search is made using the latest amount of data collected by the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We search in the final state of two tau leptons plus two jets. This final state is sensitive to WH and ZH where one boson decays...

We present a search for a fermiophobic Higgs decaying to two photons. In the standard model the Higgs boson decays predominately to two bottom quarks for low Higgs masses, and the branching ratio for decays to two photons is on the order of 0.2%. However, in scenarios, where the Higgs boson only couples with other bosons,
H to two photon decays are much more significant. Since the Higgs in...

A prospective analysis is presented on the observability of the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in the Vector Boson fusion and decaying into tau-tau pair with the tau-tau->lvv+tau-jet v final state. The estimates of the upper limit on the cross section times branching ratio for 1fb-1 for the Higgs boson mass interval 115-145 GeV/c2 are given.
