Abstract
We discuss the possiblities of searching for a low mass neutral Higgs boson via the decay mode B → H0X (where B is a charged or neutral bottom meson). We show that a substantial part of the production rate can be attributed to the exclusive two-body decay mode B → H0K. This allows the detection of neutral Higgs bosons in the kinematically allowed mass range mH0 ⩽ 4.5 GeV/c2 in an inclusive measurement of the kaon momentum spectrum, thus removing any dependence on the final state of the Higgs decay itself. We will sow that the inclusive Higgs momentum spectrum should be hard, peaking near the kinematic boundary. Search strategies based on these production properties are developed and tested on Monte Carlo data. The implications for present and future data samples are discussed.
