TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a few of the ways they think they can find the neutral, Standard Model Higgs at LEP 200, an e/sup +/e/sup -/ colliding beam machine at E/sub cm/= 200 GeV.
Abstract: One of the primary tasks for the coming round of experiments is the search for the Higgs boson(s), the final, undetected remnant(s) of electroweak symmetry breaking. What, exactly, are we looking for. There may exist one or more scalar particles, charged or neutral, which decay preferentially, up to mixing angles which may cloud the phenomenological picture, into the heaviest available ''daughters'', and which weigh anything within the accessible mass range. Clearly, this search will have to be carried out at several different machines, taking advantage of their complementary features. The author describes here a few of the ways he thinks he can find the neutral, Standard Model Higgs at LEP 200, an e/sup +/e/sup -/ colliding beam machine at E/sub cm/= 200 GeV. Perhaps some of these techniques will be of some use at pp colliders as well.
