SUMMARY:Searching for a low mass Higgs at DZero\, High Energy Seminar\
 , Joe Haley\, Northeastern University
DESCRIPTION:While the Standard Model has proven itself time and time a
 gain\, we<br>
\nhave yet to find the elusive Higgs boson that is centr
 al to<br>
\nelectroweak symmetry breaking and also provides a mechanis
 m for<br>
\ngiving masses to fermions. The mass of the Higgs boson is 
 not<br>
\npredicted by the theory\, but indirect precision measurement
 s favor a<br>
\nrelatively low mass. Coincidentally\, a low mass Higgs
  (less than<br>
\n~130 GeV) will also be the most difficult for the LH
 C to find due to<br>
\nthe enormous backgrounds. With ever increasing 
 data sets\, improved<br>
\nunderstanding of backgrounds\, and advanced
  analysis techniques\, the<br>
\nTevatron experiments provide the best
  opportunity to find a low mass<br>
\nHiggs boson in the near future. 
 I will describe the low mass Higgs<br>
\nboson search at the D0 experi
 ment. In addition to presenting the<br>
\nmost recent results\, I will
  highlight the strategy for performing a<br>
\nlow mass Higgs search a
 nd the advanced tools used to improve<br>
\nsensitivity.<br>
