Search for a standard model Higgs boson in the $H$ $\rightarrow$ $WW$ $\rightarrow$ $l$$\nu$$jj$ final state at CDF

We present a search for standard model Higgs boson production in $p \bar{p}$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$~TeV. For this analysis, we use data collected with the CDF~II detector. We consider $H$ decay into two $W$ bosons where one $W$ decays into a lepton plus a neutrino and the other decays into two quark jets. This is the dominant decay mode for a Higgs with mass larger than 135~GeV/$c^{2}$. This decay mode has an important kinematic feature in that the $W$ bosons have a spin correlation originating from the spin of Higgs which is zero. We employ a likelihood method with variables such as the angle between the lepton and an up-type jet to separate signals from backgrounds.
