Search for SM Higgs Boson Produced in Association with a Z/W Boson in events with MET and b-jets

Abstract

We present a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a Z or a W boson, using data collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron accelerator. A scenario where the Z decays into neutrinos or leptons originating from the W-decay escape detection and the Higgs decays into a $b\overline{b}$ pair is considered. Therefore the expected signature is large missing transverse energy ($\etmiss$), no isolated leptons, and two b-jets. We present the preliminary results in this search using 2.1$fb^{-1}$ of data collected by CDF.
