Abstract
A complete tree-level Standard Model calculation of the reaction e(+)e (-) --> b ($) over bar b + 2 jets in the energy range of LEPII and the Next e(+)e(-) Linear Collider is presented. The 2-jet system represen ts either a q ($) over bar q pair or two gluons. The matrix elements w ere calculated by means of the package CompHEP, and phase space integr ation and event generation were carried out with the computer programs BASES/SPRING. Cross sections of the Higgs boson, the total background and important subsets of background are studied as functions of the c .m.s. energy and the Higgs mass, taking into account possible interfer ences. Various event distributions calculated for realistic integrated luminosities indicate encouraging prospects regarding the extraction of the Higgs signal.
