Book excerpt: We present a search for a low mass Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a Z boson decaying invisibly into a pair of neutrinos at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 1.96 TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The final state is characterized by the presence of two b-tagged jets from the Higgs boson decay and a large imbalance in the transverse energy of the event. This channel is very powerful because of the large Z → [nu]{anti {nu}} branching ratio, but also has many experimental challenges due to the large multijet background and the absence of visible carged leptons in the final state. We present the result with 5.2 fb−1 of data and discuss the recent improvements in the sensitivity.
