We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a Z boson in data collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.45 fb(-1). In events consistent with the decay of the Higgs boson to a bottom-quark pair and the Z boson to electron or muon pairs, we set 95% credibility level upper limits on the ZH production cross section times the H→bb branching ratio as a function of Higgs boson mass. At a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV/c(2), we observe (expect) a limit of 7.1 (3.9) times the standard model value.
我们展示了在使用 CDF II 探测器在 Tevatron 上收集的数据中,对与 Z 玻色子相关联的标准模型希格斯玻色子的搜索结果,这些数据对应的积分亮度为 9.45 fb^-1。在与希格斯玻色子衰变为底夸克对和 Z 玻色子衰变为电子或缪子对相符的事件中,我们设定了 ZH 产生截面与 H→bb 分支比的 95%置信度上限,作为希格斯玻色子质量的函数。在希格斯玻色子质量为 125 GeV/c^2 时,我们观察到(期望)标准模型值的 7.1(3.9)倍的限制。
