Abstract

Exploiting the fact that W pair production in high-energy γγ collisions is very large, we use this process to trigger Higgs, Z or photon radiation. We find that there are sizeable rising cross-sections for triple bosons production. At energies about 1TeV the new mechanism for Higgs production becomes very competitive with the dominant Higgs production processes in e+e- and e γ reactions. The effect of different polarized photon spectra obtained through back-scattered laser light on the electron beam of a linear collider is investigated . We give a special attention to the search of the intermediate mass Higgs in WWH production and discuss how to effectively suppress the backgrounds.
