Book excerpt: We searched for Standard Model Higgs boson decaying into WW(*), where one of the W bosons decays leptonically and the other hadronically. We used 4.6 $fb^{-1}$ of data collected with the CDF detector in Tevatron Run II. We composed a likelihood discriminant using kinematic variables in order to maximize the signal/background separation. We set upper limits on Higgs boson production cross section for Higgs boson masses between 150 and 200 GeV/$c^2$. The results range from 5.69 ($m_H$ = 170 GeV/$c^2$) to 52.5 ($m_H$ = 150 GeV/$c^2$) times the Standard Model values at 95 % confidence level.
