Abstract
We present a combination of searches for the standard model Higgs boson using the full CDF run II data set, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9.45-10.0 fb-1 collected from √s=1.96 TeV pp̄ collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron. The searches consider Higgs boson production from gluon-gluon fusion, vector-boson fusion, and associated production with either a W or Z boson or a tt̄ pair. Depending on the production mode, Higgs boson decays to W+W-, ZZ, bb̄, τ+τ-, and γγ are examined. We search for a Higgs boson with masses (mH) in the range 90-200 GeV/c2. In the absence of a signal, we expect based on combined search sensitivity to exclude at the 95% credibility level the mass region..
