Abstract
We present a search for neutral Higgs
bosons decaying into b-bbar, produced in association with b-quarks in
p-pbar collisions. This process could be observable in supersymmetric
models with high values of tan(beta). We search for an enhancment
in the mass of the two lead jets in triply b-tagged events, using
980/pb of data collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab
Tevatron collider. The dijet mass spectrum of the heavy flavor
multi-jet background is derived from double-tagged data in a manner
that accounts for tagging biases and kinematic differences introduced
by the addition of the third tag. We set mass-dependent limits on
sigma x BR and tan(beta) in MSSM models.
