Abstract

We calculate the production of Higgs bosons via W- and Z-boson fusion in $e^{+}$ $e^{-}$ , ep, and pp collisions. Vector-boson fusion is the dominant contribution to Higgs-boson production in $e^{+}$ $e^{-}$ and pp collisions for heavy Higgs bosons and in ep collisions for all Higgs-boson masses. We determine the maximum Higgs-boson mass which is accessible in each type of collision.

Our estimate for photon fusion agrees with a similar claim made in Ref. 12. However, our calculation does not agree with the estimate in Ref. 12 that $W^{+}$ $W^{-}$ fusion is also less than $10^{- 6}$ nb.
