Abstract

Search strategies for a minimal neutral Higgs boson at e + e colliders with center-of-mass (c.m.) energies in the range 200 GeV to 2 TeV are reviewed. In addition, search stategies for a charged Higgs boson and nonminimal neutral Higgs bosons are discussed for c.m. energies near 1 TeV. With sufficient luminosity, searches for charged or minimal neutral Higgs bosons at e + e colliders are sensitive to Higgs boson masses up to about 80% of the beam energy. However, there is a range of masses near the W ± or Z° mass which can probably only be covered with an e + e collider operating at a c.m. energy of about 300–400 GeV. For a limited range of masses, the nonminimal CP-even and CP-odd neutral Higgs bosons could be detected in e + e collisions.
