Higgs boson interference in gamma gamma ---> W+ W-
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We study interference effects between resonant and nonresonant amplitudes for the $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow W^+ W^-$ process at a backscattered photon-photon collider. We show that a Higgs boson with $M_H$ > 200 GeV is manifest as a resonant dip in the $W^+W^-$ invariant mass spectrum and we investigate its statistical significance.
