Abstract
We present a search for a standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a W boson using 2.7 fb[superscript -1] of integrated luminosity of pp̅ collision data taken at √s=1.96 TeV. Limits on the Higgs boson production rate are obtained for masses between 100 and 150 GeV/c[superscript 2]. Through the use of multivariate techniques, the analysis achieves an observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limit of 5.6 (4.8) times the theoretically expected production cross section for a standard model Higgs boson with a mass of 115 GeV/c[superscript 2].
