Description
We present a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in
p-pbar collsions via the $H\to WW^{(*)}\to l\nul\nu$ process at a
center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV, using 5.4~fb$^{-1}$ of
data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.
We consider a final state where the Higgs boson decays into a pair of
$W$ bosons which in turn decay leptonically.
This channel, with its clear signature of two leptons and missing
energy, provides the greatest sensitivity to the Higgs
boson at the Tevatron in the high mass region. With the current
dataset no excess above the Standard Model predictions
is observed, and limits on the Higgs production cross-section are set
for $m_{H}$ in the range $115-200$ GeV.
