Radiative corrections to Zb(b)over-bar production -: art. no. 114012

We report on QCD radiative corrections to the process p (p) over bar --> Zb (b) over bar in the approximation in which the b quark is considered massless. The implementation of this process in the general purpose Monte Carlo program MCFM is discussed in some detail. These results an used to investigate backgrounds to Higgs boson production in the ZH channel. We investigate the Higgs boson mass range (100 GeV<130 GeV) for the Fermilab Tevatron running at s = 2 TeV.
