Using $b$-Tagging to Detect $t\text{anti}t$~Higgs Production with Higgs$\text{rta}b\text{anti}b$

Abstract

We demonstrate that expected efficiencies and purities for $b$-tagging at SSC/LHC detectors may allow detection of the Standard Model Higgs in $t\text{anti}t\text{hsm}$ production, with $\text{hsm}\text{rta}b\text{anti}b$ decay, for $80\text{lsim}\text{mhsm}\text{lsim}130\text{gev}$, provided $\text{mt}\text{gsim}130\text{gev}$.
