Z\rightarrow b\bar{b}$ at D{\O}

ORAL

Abstract

We report on the search for $Z$ decaying to $b\bar{b}$ by the D\Oexperiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We have searched for evidence of the $Z$ resonance in the $b$-tagged di-jet mass spectrum using the RunII data. The observation of this process is important in understanding the detector response to $b$-quark jets. Measurement of this process is, therefore, relevant to the search for Higgs bosons in the $b \bar{b}$ channel and the measurement of the top quark mass.
