Search for $ZH$ Production at D0 in $p\bar{p}\to\ell^+\ell^-b\bar{b}$ Events at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV
We present a search for a low-mass standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a $Z$ boson decaying to charged leptons at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=$1.96 TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The search is performed in a large data set of events containing two opposite-sign leptons (electron, muon, tau) and one or two b-tagged jets. Recent improvements to the sensitivity, from increased lepton acceptance to optimized signal-to-background discrimination, will be discussed.
