Search for a neutral Higgs boson inB-meson decay

Abstract

Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring we have searched for neutral-Higgs-boson production in $B$ decay, both through the exclusive modes $B\to H^{0}K$ and $B\to H^0{K}^{*}$ using the decay of the $H^0$ into a pair of muons, pions, or kaons, and through the inclusive decay $B\to H^{0}X$ using only the muon decay of the $H^0$. We find no evidence for a Higgs boson with a mass between $2m_{\mu }$ and $2m_{\tau }$.
