Abstract
We discuss the exclusion limits set by the CDF and D0 experiments on the Higgs sector from their Higgs boson searches at the Tevatron in the light of large theoretical uncertainties that affect the signal (and background) production cross sections. In the context of the Standard Model, when the theoretical uncertainties stemming from strong (and to a much lesser extent, electroweak) interaction effects are consistently taken into account, the sensitivity of the two experiments becomes significantly lower and the currently excluded Higgs mass range could be entirely reopened. In the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model where the Higgs sector is enlarged to contain two doublet scalar fields, including the theoretical uncertainties will also significantly loosen the constraints obtained at the Tevatron on the supersymmetric Higgs sector parameter space.
