HIGGS PRODUCTION IN E(+)E(-)-]L(L)OVER-BARQ(Q)OVER-BAR AT LEP AND NLC

Predictions for Higgs production with processes of the type e(+)e(-) --> mu ($) over bar mu b ($) over bar b at LEP 2 and the NLC are calculated. Short analytical formulae describe the double differential distribution in the invariant masses of the mu ($) over bar mu and b ($) over bar b pairs. The total cross section may be obtained with two numerical integrations. The various Higgs-background interferences vanish either identically or are small. The background contributions depend strongly on cuts applied to the invariant masses.
