Description
A Higgs boson is needed to explain how the W and Z bosons of the weak
force acquire mass and to consistently give masses to the fermions. The
D0 and CDF experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron accelerator have each
collected over 3/fb of data and developed advanced analyses which hunt
for this elusive new particle. Searches for the Higgs in the context of
the Standard Model, the MSSM, and other models will be discussed.
Updated results from the Moriond '08 conference will be reported, where
available. Finally, the projected sensitivity for the next two years,
and the new techniques being developed to achieve this sensitivity, will
be shown.
