A precise measurement of the Higgs $h \to Z \gamma$ decay is very challenging at the LHC, due to the very low %SM $h \to Z \gamma\, (Z \to \ell \ell)$ branching fraction and the shortage of kinematic handles to suppress the large SM $Z…

Assuming a SM or MSSM scenario, one expects a light Higgs boson which could be studied in great detail with a LC operating at \sqrt s>m_h+m_Z. In the TESLA scenario, with 500 fb^-1 accumulated at \sqrt s = 350 GeV, about 10^5 hZ events…
