Abstract
Events with high-mass W pairs and corresponding backgrounds have been generated, realistically simulated, and analyzed to isolate the Higgs boson. The signature considered is one produced when one W decays leptonically while the other decays hadronically. Detection efficiencies are calculated for the case of an 800-GeV minimal Higgs boson. For the case of a top quark lighter than the W, the signal is observed with a statistical significance of two standard deviations after one year of simulated Superconducting Super Collider running with a luminosity of 1033 cm−2 s−1.
