Contribution
It provides a comprehensive review of experimental Higgs searches at LEP, including results from four experiments and prospects for future discovery.
Findings
Significant progress in Higgs search results.
Analysis of about 13 million Z decays.
Potential for Higgs discovery at LEP2.
Abstract
New results from general searches for the Higgs boson of the Minimal Standard Model (MSM), and for neutral and charged Higgs bosons of non-minimal Higgs models are reviewed from the four LEP experiments at CERN: ALEPH, DELPHI, L3, and OPAL. Much progress has been made due to the analysis of new data sets. A total of about 13 million hadronic Z decays are recorded from 1989 to 1994. The Higgs boson discovery potential for LEP2 is presented.
