Abstract
We search for anomalous production of heavy-flavor quark jets in association with bosons at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in final states in which the heavy-flavor quark content is enhanced by requiring at least one tagged jet in an event. Jets are tagged using one algorithm based on semileptonic decays of hadrons, and another on their lifetimes. We compare () and () channels collected with the D0 detector at to expectations from the standard model and set upper limits on anomalous production of such events.
