Erratum: Novel inclusive search for the Higgs boson in the four-lepton final state at CDF (Physical Review D (2012) 86 (072012) DOI:10.1103/PhysRevD. 86.072012)

An inclusive search for the standard model Higgs boson using the four-lepton final state in proton-antiproton collisions produced by the Tevatron at $\sqrt{s}=1.96\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ is conducted. The data are recorded by the CDF II detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of $9.7\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. Three distinct Higgs decay modes, namely $ZZ$, $WW$, and $\ensuremath{\tau}\ensuremath{\tau}$, are simultaneously probed. Nine potential signal events are selected and found to be consistent with the background expectation. We set a 95% credibility limit on the production cross section times the branching ratio and subsequent decay to the four-lepton final state for hypothetical Higgs boson masses between $120\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/{c}^{2}$ and $300\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/{c}^{2}$.
