Book excerpt: We present the latest combination of searches for a standard model (SM) Higgs boson in p{bar p} collisions at (square root)s = 1.96 TeV recorded by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Using data corresponding to 2.3-5.9 fb−1 of integrated luminosity, we perform searches in a number of different production and decay modes and then combine them to improve sensitivity. No excess in data above that expected from backgrounds is observed; therefore, we set upper limits on the production cross section times branching fraction as a function of the SM Higgs boson mass (m{sub H}). The combined observed (expected) limit is 1.9 (1.8) times the SM prediction at m{sub H} =115 GeV/c2 and 1.0 (1.1) times the SM prediction at m{sub H} = 165 GeV/c2.
