Rev. D", "categories": [ "hep-ex" ], "abstract": "We present a search for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson produced in association with a Z boson in 9.7 fb-1 of ppbar collisions collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV. Selected events contain one reconstructed Z -> e+e- or Z -> mu+mu- candidate and at least two jets, including at least one jet likely to contain a b quark. To validate the search procedure, we also measure the cross section for ZZ production, and find that it is consistent with the SM expectation. We set upper limits at the 95% C.L. on the product of the ZH production cross section and branching ratio B(H -> bbbar) for Higgs boson masses 90 <= M_H <= 150 GeV. The observed (expected) limit for M_H = 125 GeV is a factor of 7.1 (5.1) larger than the SM prediction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-03-13T20:02:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14.80.Bn", "13.85.Rm" ], "keywords": [ "ppbar collisions", "d0 detector", "bbar production", "zh production cross section", "fermilab tevatron collider" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevD.88.052010" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1223858, "adsabs": "2013arXiv1303.3276D" } } }
