Abstract
We combine results from CDF and D0 on direct searches for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson (H) in ppbar collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. Compared to the previous Tevatron Higgs boson search combination more data have been added, additional channels have been incorporated, and some previously used channels have been reanalyzed to gain sensitivity. With up to 10 fb-1 of luminosity analyzed, the 95% C.L. median expected upper limits on Higgs boson production are factors of 0.94, 1.10, and 0.49 times the values of the SM cross section for Higgs bosons of mass m_H=115 GeV/c^2, 125 GeV/c^2,and 165 GeV/c^2, respectively. We exclude, at the 95% C.L., two regions: 100<m_H<106 GeV/c^2, and 147<m_H<179 GeV/c^2. We expect to exclude the regions 100<m_H<119 GeV/c^2 and 141<m_H<184 GeV/c^2. There is an excess of data events with respect to the background estimation in the mass range 115<m_H<135 GeV/c^2 which causes our limits to not be as stringent as expected. At m_H=120 GeV/c^2, the p-value for a background fluctuation to produce this excess is ~3.5 x 10^{-3}, corresponding to a local significance of 2.7 standard deviations. The global significance for such an excess anywhere in the full mass range is approximately 2.2 standard deviations. We also combine separately searches for H->bbbar and H->W+W-, and find that the excess is concentrated in the H->bbbar channel, although the results in the H->W+W- channel are also consistent with the possible presence of a low-mass Higgs boson.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
