Search for a low mass neutral Higgs boson in Z0 decay

Abstract

We have searched for the neutral Higgs boson produced in the decays of the Z0 through the process Z0 → H0l+l in the mass range MH0 <2 GeV. From the analysis of a data sample corresponding to about 70 000 Z0→ hadrons we exclude a minimal standard model Higgs boson in the mass range 0<MH0<2 GeV at the 99% confidence level independent of the Higgs decay channels.
