Intermediate mass standard model Higgs boson at the proposed CERN LEP$\otimes$LHC $ep$ collider

Abstract

The production of the \sm\ Higgs $\varphi$ with intermediate mass at the proposed CERN LEP$\otimes$LHC $ep$ collider in $\gamma q(\bar{q})\to W^{\pm }\varphi q^{\prime }({\bar{q}}^{\prime })$, $\gamma q(\bar{q})\to Z^0\varphi q(\bar{q})$ and $g\gamma \to q\bar{q}\varphi$ events is studied. This is done for all possible (massive) flavours of the quarks $q(q^{\prime })$ and using photons generated via Compton back--scattering of laser light. We study signatures in which the Higgs decays to $b\bar{b}$--pairs and the electroweak vector bosons $W^{\pm }$ and $Z^0$ decay either hadronically or leptonically. All possible backgrounds to these signals are also computed. Flavour identification on $b$--jets is assumed. Explicit formulae for the helicity amplitudes of the above processes are given.
