# Finding the Higgs boson of the standard model in the channel ZH → e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>-</sup>b$\bar{b}$ with the D0 detector at the Tevatron; Recherche du boson de Higgs du nideke standard dans le canal ZH → e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>-</sup>b$\bar{b}$ avec le detecteur DØ aupres du Tevatron

### Description

The organization of this thesis consists of three main ideas: the first presents the theoretical framework and experimental, as well as objects used in the analysis and the second relates to the various work tasks of service that I performed on the calorimeter, and the third is the search for the Higgs boson in the channel ZH → e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>-</sup>b$\bar{b}$. Thus, this thesis has the following structure: Chapter 1 is an introduction to the standard model of particle physics and the Higgs mechanism; Chapter 2 is an overview of the complex and the acceleration of the Tevatron at Fermilab DØ detector; ... continued below
