Higgs detection via Z0 polarisation

It is demonstrated that if one determines the polarisation of the Z0 final states from pp → Z0Z0 → charged leptons, then one can reliably detect the presence of a Higgs boson in the range 300 GeV < mH < 1 TeV at the SSC. This is in contrast to other methods for Higgs detection which are susceptible to QCD backgrounds, severe cuts, or uncertainties in the Z0 continuum. For one year's running at the nominal SSC luminosity of 1033 cm-2 s-1 and energy 40 TeV there are sufficient numbers of such events to perform the straightforward analysis. (orig.)
