Abstract
We reanalyze the extraction of the heavy Higgs boson signal H --> W+W- --> <(l)over bar nu>,<l(nu)over bar> (l = e or mu) from the standard model background at hadron supercolliders, taking into account revised estimates of the top quark background. With new acceptance criteria t he detection of the signal remains viable. Requiring a forward jet tag , a central jet veto, and a large relative transverse momentum of the two charged leptons yields S/root B > 6 for one year of running at the SSC or CERN LHC.
