Abstract
We present a search for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson produced in association with a boson in of collisions collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at . Selected events contain one reconstructed or candidate and at least two jets, including at least one jet identified as likely to contain a quark. To validate the search procedure, we also measure the cross section for production in the same final state. It is found to be consistent with its SM prediction. We set upper limits on the production cross section times branching ratio for at the 95% C.L. for Higgs boson masses . The observed (expected) limit for is 7.1 (5.1) times the SM cross section.
