Abstract
We study interference effects between resonant and nonresonant amplitu des for the gammagamma --> W+ W- process at a backscattered photon-pho ton collider. We show that a Higgs boson with M(H) greater than or sim ilar to 200 GeV is manifest as a resonant dip in the W+ W- invariant m ass spectrum and we investigate its statistical significance.
