Abstract: (APS)

We consider the production of the Higgs boson(s) of both the standard model and the minimal super-symmetric model via the collision of two polarized backscattered laser photons at an e+e− linear collider. The anticipated photon-photon luminosity should be sufficient to allow detection of any one of these Higgs bosons over a significant range of Higgs boson masses. In particular, the Higgs boson mass reach in the γγ collider mode may be somewhat larger than that of the corresponding e+e− linear collider. Moreover, γγ→H will provide a measure of the γγH coupling which arises at one loop, and therefore is potentially sensitive to all charged particles which gain mass through the Higgs mechanism.
