Abstract
We present the results of calculations for the process gamma gamma --> W+2 fermions at a future Photon Linear Collider (PLC). The calculatio ns include at the same rime the next-to-leading order Higgs signal and the complete tree level gauge boson background. We present numerical results in the intermediate mass Higgs region 140GeV < M-H < 2M(W). We propose strategies for the determination of Higgs properties using th e leptonic and hadronic final states for both polarized and unpolarize d photon beams. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
