Abstract

We present the results of searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying predominantly to W⁺W⁻ pairs, at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 1.96 TeV, using up to 8.2 fb⁻¹ of data collected with the CDF and D0 detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The analysis techniques and the various channels considered are discussed. These searches result in exclusions across the Higgs mass range of 156.5< m_H <173.7 GeV for CDF and 161< m_H <170 GeV for D0.
