Semi-analytical approach to Higgs production at LEP 2

The cross-section for the reaction e^+e^- \rightarrow b\bar{b}\mu^+\mu^- is calculated with a semi-analytical integration of the phase space. Compact formulae are obtained for the total cross section and for invariant mass distributions of the \mu^+\mu^- and b\bar{b} pairs. The background diagrams t...

Sumario:The cross-section for the reaction e^+e^- \rightarrow b\bar{b}\mu^+\mu^- is calculated with a semi-analytical integration of the phase space. Compact formulae are obtained for the total cross section and for invariant mass distributions of the \mu^+\mu^- and b\bar{b} pairs. The background diagrams to ZH production yield analytically cumbersome but numerically small contributions. The numerical results are compared with those from a Monte Carlo approach.
