Abstract
We report on a search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a vector boson in the full data set of proton-antiproton collisions at recorded by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . We consider events having no identified charged lepton, a transverse energy imbalance, and two or three jets, of which at least one is consistent with originating from the decay of a quark. We place 95% credibility level upper limits on the production cross section times standard model branching fraction for several mass hypotheses between 90 and . For a Higgs boson mass of , the observed (expected) limit is 6.7 (3.6) times the standard model prediction.
