Search for a Higgs Boson in the Diphoton Final State in p-pbar Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. (arXiv:1109.4427v1 [hep-ex])

A search for a narrow Higgs boson resonance in the diphoton mass spectrum is
presented based on data corresponding to 7.0 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity
from p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV collected by the CDF experiment.
No evidence of such a resonance is observed, and upper limits are set on the
cross section times branching ratio of the resonant state as a function of
Higgs boson mass. The limits are interpreted in the context of the standard
model and one fermiophobic benchmark model where the data exclude fermiophobic
Higgs bosons with masses below 114 GeV/c^2 at a 95% Bayesian credibility level.
