Abstract
We report on a search for the standard-model Higgs boson in collisions at using an integrated luminosity of . We look for production of the Higgs boson decaying to a pair of bottom quarks in association with a vector boson ( or ) decaying to quarks, resulting in a four-jet final state. Two of the jets are required to have secondary vertices consistent with -hadron decays. We set the first 95% confidence level upper limit on the production cross section with decay for Higgs boson masses of using data from run II at the Fermilab Tevatron. For , we exclude cross sections larger than 38 times the standard-model prediction.
