We present a search for the Higgs boson in the process
qq-bar -> ZH --> l+ l- bb-bar. The analysis uses an integrated
luminosity of 1 fb-1 of p anti-p collisions produced at s**(1/2) ñ.96 TeV
and accumulated by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF II).
We employ artificial neural networks both to correct jets mismeasured in
the calorimeter, and to distinguish the signal kinematic distributions
from those of the background. We see no evidence for Higgs boson
production, and set 95% CL upper limits on sigma_ZH . B(H --> bb-bar),
ranging from 1.5 pb to 1.2 pb for a Higgs mass (m_H) of 110 to 150 GeV/c2.
