We report on a search for the production of the Higgs boson
decaying to two bottom quarks accompanied by two additional quarks.
The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of
approximately 4 fb-1 of p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) ñ.96 TeV recorded
by the CDF II experiment. This search includes twice the data of the
previous published result, uses new analysis techniques to distinguish
jets originating from light flavor quarks and those from gluon radiation,
and adds sensitivity to a Higgs boson produced by vector boson fusion.
We find no evidence of the Higgs boson and place limits on the Higgs
boson production cross-section for Higgs boson masses between 100 GeV/c2
and 150 GeV/c2 at 95% confidence level. For a Higgs boson mass of 120
GeV/c2 the observed (expected) limit is 10.5 (20.0) times the predicted
Standard Model cross-section.
