Abstract
We study the feasibility of measuring the cross section of Higgs boson production in the WW-fusion process, e + e − →ν e ν̄ e H 0 , at a future linear collider at center-of-mass energies between 350 and 500 GeV. Realistic assumptions for detector resolution effects, b-quark tagging efficiency and background processes are made. Using the decay mode H 0 →bb̄ the cross section can be measured to an accuracy of 3% for a Higgs boson mass of 120 GeV, assuming 500fb −1 of data. This measurement can be used to extract the coupling g HWW between Higgs and W bosons and indirectly determine the total decay width of the Higgs boson.Keywords
