Search for Higgs boson decay to neutral long-lived particles decaying to b(bar b) in p(bar p) collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV

Description

We report on a first search for production of Higgs bosons decaying into neutral long-lived particles (NLLP) which each decay to a b(bar b) pair, using 3.6 fb-1 of data recorded with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We search for pairs of displaced vertices in the tracking detector at radii in the range 1.6-20 cm from the beam axis. No significant excess is observed above background, and upper limits are set on the production rate in a hidden-valley benchmark model for a range of Higgs boson masses and NLLP masses and lifetimes
