A method for determining the $q^2$ dependent $bar{K}^{*0}$ spin amplitudes of $bar{B}^{0}to bar{K}^{*0}mu^+mu^-$ decays through a maximum likelihood fit to data is presented. While current experimental techniques extract a limited set of observables
in bins of $q^2$, our approach allows for the determination of all observable quantities as continuous distributions in $q^2$. By doing this, the method eliminates the need to correct theory predictions of these observables for $q^2$ averaging effects, thus increasing the sensitivity to the effects of physics beyond the Standard Model. Accounting for the symmetries of the angular distribution and using a three parameter ansatz for the $q^2$ dependence of the amplitudes, the precision of the angular observables and the sensitivity to new physics is estimated using simulated events. These studies are based on the sample sizes collected by the LHCb experiment during Run-I and expected for Run-II.
We present the results of searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying predominantly to WW pairs, at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV, using up to 8.2 fb^{-1} of data collected with the CDF and D0 detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron
collider. The analysis techniques and the various channels considered are discussed. These searches result in exclusions across the Higgs mass range of 156.5<mH<173.7 GeV for CDF and 161<mH<170 GeV for D0.
