The Search for a Light `Intermediate Mass' Higgs Boson

We review recent progress in techniques for searching for the Standard Model light `Intermediate Mass' Higgs Boson ($80 \GeV \lsim M_H \lsim 140\GeV$). We pay particular attention to associated production at the SSC and LHC where we search for the Higgs produced in association with either a $W$ boson or a $t$ 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 $W \gamma\gamma$ background, decreasing the significance of the $WH$ signal. Based upon a Plenary talk given at the SSC Symposium, Madison, March 1993.
