# Search for a Neutral Higgs Boson Decaying to a W Boson Pair in $p\bar{p}$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=1.96 TeV

Abstract : We present the results of a search for standard model Higgs boson production with decay to WW*, identified through the leptonic final states e+e-[overline nu ]nu,e±µ-/+[overline nu ]nu and µ+µ-[overline nu ]nu. This search uses 360 pb-1 of data collected from p[overline p] collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF II). We observe no signal excess and set 95% confidence level upper limits on the production cross section times branching ratio for the Higgs boson to WW* or any new scalar particle with similar decay products. These upper limits range from 5.5 to 3.2 pb for Higgs boson masses between 120 and 200 GeV/c2.
