Search for Associated Production of $Z$ and Higgs Bosons in $\mu^+\mu^-b\bar{b}$ final states
ORAL
Abstract
We present the preliminary results from the D\O\ experiment at Fermilab on a search for the light mass Standard Model Higgs Boson produced in association with a $Z$ boson in the $\mu^+\mu^-b\bar{b}$ channel. We present an optimized analysis strategy for the most significant background of this process, the QCD production of $b\bar{b}$ associated with the $Z$ boson, and introduce the topological analysis method for the selection and reconstruction of this kind of signals.
