Abstract

We report on QCD radiative corrections to the process, pp to Zbb in the approximation in which the b-quark is considered massless. The implementation of this process in the general purpose Monte Carlo program MCFM is discussed in some detail. These results are used to investigate backgrounds to Higgs boson production in the ZH channel. We investigate the Higgs mass range (100 GeV < mH < 130 GeV) for the Tevatron running at sqrts=2 TeV.
