摘要
The intermediate mass Higgs boson can be abundantly produced through the process e-γ→W-Hν at TeV e-γ colliders, which are realized by the laser backscattering method. We search for the signature of W-H→(jj)(bb̄) plus missing transverse momentum, with and without considering b tagging. We also analyze all the potential backgrounds from e-γ→W-Zν, W-W+e-, ZZe-, t̄bν, and tt̄e-. With our selective acceptance cuts these backgrounds are reduced to a manageable level. We find that for the entire intermediate mass range 60 - 150 GeV the Higgs boson discovery should be viable. We also present detailed formulas for the helicity amplitudes of these processes. © 1993 The American Physical Society.
