Impact of QCD Corrections on the Search for the Intermediate Mass Higgs Boson

Abstract

Using next-to-leading-log calculations of Higgs production and hadronic two photon production, a signal and background study in the intermediate mass range of the Higgs boson is done for $\sqrt{s}=$ 40 and 14 TeV. The effects of realistic cuts, including photon isolation, are examined.
