    abstract = "The Collider Detector at Fermilab collected a unique sample of jets
originating from bottom-quark fragmentation (b-jets) by selecting online
proton-antiproton (p (p) over bar) collisions with a vertex displaced
from p (p) over bar interaction point, consistent with the decay of a
bottom-quark hadron. This data set, collected at a center-of-mass energy
of 1.96 TeV, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4
fb(-1), is used to measure the Z-boson production cross section times
branching ratio into b (b) over bar. The number of Z -> b (b) over bar
events is determined by fitting the dijet-mass distribution, while
constraining the dominant b-jet background, originating from QCD
multijet events, with data. The result, sigma(p(p)over bar> -> Z) x B(Z
-> b (b) over bar) = 1.11 +/- 0.08(stat) +/- 0.14(syst) nb, is the most
precise measurement of this process, and is consistent with the
standard-model prediction. The data set is also used to search for
Higgs-boson production. No significant signal is expected in our data
and the first upper limit on the cross section for the inclusive
p(p)over bar>-> H -> b (b) over bar process at root s = 1.96 TeV is set,
corresponding to 33 times the expected standard-model cross section, or
sigma = 40.6 pb, at the 95% confidence level."
