Abstract
A search is described to detect charged Higgs bosons via the process e (+)e --> H+H, using data collected by the OPAL detector at center-of-m ass energies of 130-172 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 25 p b(-1) The decay channels are assumed to be H+--> qq and H+ tau(+)nu(ta u). No evidence for charged Higgs boson production is observed. The lo wer limit for its mass is determined to be 52 GeV at 95% confidence le vel, independent of the H+-->tau(+) nu tau branching ratio.
