Search for the Higgs boson in the all-hadronic final state using the CDF II detector.

Abstract

We report on a search for the production of the Higgs boson decaying to two bottom quarks ac- companied by two additional quarks. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 4 fb1 of pp collisions at p s = 1:96TeV recorded by the CDF II experiment. This search includes twice the integrated luminosity of the previous published result, uses new analysis techniques to distinguish jets originating from light avor quarks and those from gluon radiation, and adds sensitivity to a Higgs boson produced by vector boson fusion.
