The intermediate-massL M Higgs boson at the NLC: reducible and irreducible backgrounds to the Bjorken production channel

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Both the reducible and irreducible backgrounds to the Higgs production channele + e −→H 0 Z 0 at a Next Linear Collider (NLC) are studied, for the Standard Model (L M) Higgs boson in the intermediate-mass range. A phenomenological analysis that does not exploit any form of tagging on the Higgs decay products is assumed.
