Book excerpt: We combine results from searches by the CDF and D0 Collaborations for a standard model Higgs boson (H) in the processes gg → H → W+W− and gg → H → ZZ in p{bar p} collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at √s = 1.96 TeV. With 8.2 fb−1 of integrated luminosity analyzed at CDF and 8.1 fb−1 at D0, the 95% C.L. upper limit on [sigma](gg → H) x [Beta](H → W+W−) is 1.01 pb at m{sub H} = 120 GeV, 0.40 pb at m{sub H} = 165 GeV, and 0.47 pb at m{sub H} = 200 GeV. Assuming the presence of a fourth sequential generation of fermions with large masses, we exclude at the 95% Confidence Level a standard-model-like Higgs boson with a mass between 124 and 286 GeV.
