Higgs-strahlung $e^+e^-\to ZH$ and $WW$ fusion $e^+e^-\to\bar\nu_e\nu_e H$ are the most important mechanisms for the production of Higgs bosons in $e^+e^-$ collisions at LEP2 and future $e^+e^-$ linear colliders. We have calculated the…

We investigate inclusive Standard Model Higgs boson pair production at lepton and hadron colliders for Higgs boson masses in the range 120 GeV < m_H < 200 GeV. For m_H < 140 GeV we find that hadron colliders have a very limited capability…
The study of WW Higgs boson decays is one of the key elements of the LHC physics program, as these decays are dominant close to the WW resonance. Recent results obtained using the full simulation of the detector are presented in the…
