Search for Associated Production of Z and Higgs Bosons in $\nu\nu b\bar{b}$ Final States
ORAL
Abstract
Studies are presented from the D0 experiment at Fermilab for the search for a light Standard Model Higgs Boson in association with a Z boson, which decays invisibly to a pair of neutrinos using 0.9 fb$^{^-1}$ of integrated luminosity of Run II data. This channel relies on the identification of two b-tagged jets from the Higgs Boson decay and on the measurement of a large imbalance in the transverse energy of the event. This channel is challenging as the decay signatures are common in QCD and instrumental backgrounds.
