Abstract
A search is described for the neutral Higgs bosons h(0) and A(0) predi cted by models with two scaler field doublets and, in particular, the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The search in the Z(0)h( 0) and h(0)A(0) production channels is based oil data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 25 pb(-1) from e(+)e(-) collisions at cen tre-of-mass energies between 130 and 172 GeV collected with the OPAL d etector at LEP. The observation of a number of candidates consistent w ith Standard Model background expectations is used in combination with earlier results from data collected at the Z(0) resonance to set limi ts on m(h), and m(A) in general models with two scalar field doublets and in the MSSM. For example, in the MSSM, for tan beta > 1, minimal a nd maximal scalar top quark mixing and soft SUSY-breaking masses of 1 TeV, the 95% confidence level limits m(h) > 59.0 GeV and m(A) > 59.5 G eV are obtained. For the first time; the MSSM parameter space is explo red in a detailed scan.
