SUMMARY:Searching for a low mass Higgs at DZero\, High Energy Seminar\
, Joe Haley\, Northeastern University
DESCRIPTION:While the Standard Model has proven itself time and time a
gain\, we
\nhave yet to find the elusive Higgs boson that is centr
al to
\nelectroweak symmetry breaking and also provides a mechanis
m for
\ngiving masses to fermions. The mass of the Higgs boson is
not
\npredicted by the theory\, but indirect precision measurement
s favor a
\nrelatively low mass. Coincidentally\, a low mass Higgs
(less than
\n~130 GeV) will also be the most difficult for the LH
C to find due to
\nthe enormous backgrounds. With ever increasing
data sets\, improved
\nunderstanding of backgrounds\, and advanced
analysis techniques\, the
\nTevatron experiments provide the best
opportunity to find a low mass
\nHiggs boson in the near future.
I will describe the low mass Higgs
\nboson search at the D0 experi
ment. In addition to presenting the
\nmost recent results\, I will
highlight the strategy for performing a
\nlow mass Higgs search a
nd the advanced tools used to improve
\nsensitivity.
