Abstract
We present a search for a standard model Higgs boson decaying to two bosons that decay to leptons using the full data set collected with the CDF II detector in collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . We obtain no evidence for production of a standard model Higgs boson with mass between 110 and , and place upper limits on the production cross section within this range. We exclude standard model Higgs boson production at the 95% confidence level in the mass range between 149 and , while expecting to exclude, in the absence of signal, the range between 155 and . We also interpret the search in terms of standard model Higgs boson production in the presence of a fourth generation of fermions and within the context of a fermiophobic Higgs boson model. For the specific case of a standard-model-like Higgs boson in the presence of fourth-generation fermions, we exclude at the 95% confidence level Higgs boson production in the mass range between 124 and , while expecting to exclude, in the absence of signal, the range between 124 and .
