pp̅ →tt̅ H: A Discovery Mode for the Higgs Boson at the Fermilab Tevatron

The production of a standard model Higgs boson in association with a top quark pair at the upcoming high luminosity run ( 15 fb^-1 integrated luminosity) of the Fermilab Tevatron ( sqrt[s]  =  2.0  TeV) is revisited. For Higgs masses below 140 GeV we demonstrate that the production cross section times branching ratio for H→bb̅ decays yields a significant number of events and that this mode is competitive with and complementary to the searches using pp̅ →WH,ZH associated production. For higher mass Higgs bosons the H→W⁺W^- decays are more difficult but have the potential to provide a few spectacular events.
