POLARIZATION ASYMMETRY AND THE HIGGS-BOSON PRODUCTION MECHANISMS

We calculate the cross-section of Higgs bosom production in the reacti on e(+)e(-) --> nu<(nu)over bar>b (b) over bar for the case of left an d right longitudinally polarized initial electron beam. A complete set of signal and irreducible background diagrams is considered. It is sh own that the ratio of cross-sections with left and right initial beam polarization provides a sensitive critical test since it exhibits the interplay of bremsstrahlung and fusion mechanisms of Higgs boson produ ction inherent to the Standard Model scheme.
