The Search for a Light `Intermediate Mass' Higgs Boson

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We review recent progress in techniques for searching for the Standard Model light `Intermediate Mass' Higgs Boson (80\GeV\lsimMH\lsim140\GeV80 \GeV \lsim M_H \lsim 140\GeV). We pay particular attention to associated production at the SSC and LHC where we search for the Higgs produced in association with either a WW boson or a tt quark. This production mode can be detected cleanly when the Higgs decays into two isolated photons, and the associated heavy particle decays semi-leptonically. We discuss the possibility that radiative corrections may significantly enhance the WγγW \gamma\gamma background, decreasing the significance of the WHWH signal. Based upon a Plenary talk given at the SSC Symposium, Madison, March 1993.
