Strategies to search for the standard-model Higgs boson at a 1-TeVe+e−collider

We have used detailed Monte Carlo simulations to study strategies to search for the standard-model Higgs boson produced in the reactions $e^{+}$ $e^{\mathrm{-}}$→$Z^0$ $H^0$ and $e^{+}$ $e^{\mathrm{-}}$→${\nu }_e$ν${¯}_e$ $H^0$ at an $e^{+}$ $e^{\mathrm{-}}$ center-of-mass energy of 1 TeV. We show that it is possible to extract a significant signal from all standard-model backgrounds if the mass of the Higgs boson is not near the mass of the $W^{\pm }$ or $Z^0$ and is less than 400 (500) GeV when a data sample of 10 (30) ${\mathrm{fb}}^{\mathrm{-}1}$ has been collected.
