Abstract
We study, from an experimental point of view, the main ways to detect standard high mass Higgs bosons (from 300 Gev up to about 1 TeV) when they decay into W- and Z- pairs at the SSC. We also consider the corresponding W- and Z”-pair continuum which may itself provide interesting physics, and we pay some attention to the case of an intermediate mass charged Higgs decaying into rvr, (met =300 GeV). We first explain why and how high energy pp colliders may search for Higgs’ and we compare their possible performances to those of the e+e- and ep colliders at all possible m-s scale (from few tens of GeV’s up to 1 TeV). We then estimate the rates of the signals and the main backgrounds. We
