Description
Over the years, the standard model has been tested extensively, and it was found to give a very good description of experimental results. However, the Higgs boson, which is a consequence of the mechanism of breaking of electroweak symmetry in the model, has not been observed yet. The D0 and CDF collaborations are currently actively searching for the Higgs boson, using Fermilab's Tevatron. In this seminar, an overview will be given of recent Higgs boson search results from D0. In addition, recent experimental results on W and Z boson production are described. These electroweak measurements not only test the standard model in regions where it was not probed before, but they also provide import experimental inputs to other measurements at the Tevatron and the LHC.
