# Search for the Higgs Boson in $H\to WW^{*}\to\ell\nu\ell\nu$ Decays

### Description

We present a search for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson decaying to a pair of W bosons that in turn decay leptonically, H {yields} WW* {yields} {ell}{nu}{ell}{nu}. We consider events produced in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV, with two oppositely charged lepton candidates (e{sup +}e{sup -}, e{sup {+-}}{mu}{sup {+-}}, or {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}), and missing transverse energy. The data were collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb{sup -1}. No excess of events over background is observed, and limits on SM Higgs boson production are ... continued below
