Abstract

We present a search for a low-mass standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a Z boson decaying to charged leptons at a center-of-mass energy of √(s)=1.96 TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The search is performed in a large data set of events containing two opposite-sign leptons (electron, muon, tau) and one or two b-tagged jets. Recent improvements to the sensitivity, from increased lepton acceptance to optimized signal-to-background discrimination, will be discussed.
