Abstract
After a brief introduction, we study the constraints on MSSM the Higgs sector parameters from the non-observation of any Higgs boson signals in experiments at LEP. We also review the range of Higgs boson masses that can be searched for at LEP 200. For the most part, we focus on t he prospects for the detection of MSSM Higgs bosons in experiments at hadron supercolliders, assuming that these are too heavy to be discove red at LEP 200. We then show that supersymmetric decays of Higgs boson s can significantly reduce the rates for event topologies usually used for Higgs searches. Finally, we discuss some promising new channels f or MSSM Higgs boson detection that become possible if these SUSY decay s are allowed.
