Description
We have performed a complete one-loop calculation of γγ→ZZ in the standard model, including both gauge bosons and fermions in the loop. We confirm the large irreducible continuum background from the W boson loop found by Jikia. We have included the photon-photon luminosity, and find that the continuum background of transverse Z boson pairs prohibits finding a heavy Higgs boson with a mass approx-gt 350 GeV in this decay mode
