Abstract

The production of a standard model Higgs boson in association with a top quark pair at the upcoming high luminosity run ( 15fb^\ensuremath-1 integrated luminosity) of the Fermilab Tevatron ( √(s)\phantom\rule0ex0ex=\phantom\rule0ex0ex2.0\phantom\rule0ex0exTeV) is revisited. For Higgs masses below 140 GeV we demonstrate that the production cross section times branching ratio for H\ensuremath→bb decays yields a significant number of events and that this mode is competitive with and complementary to the searches using pp\ensuremath→WH,ZH associated production. For higher mass Higgs bosons the H\ensuremath→W+W^\ensuremath- decays are more difficult but have the potential to provide a few spectacular events.
