Abstract:
We demonstrate that a measurement of the Bjorken process e +e ,μ +μ ZHe~+e~-, \mu~+\mu~-\to ZH in the threshold region can yield a precise determination of the Higgs boson mass. With an integrated luminosity of 100fb 1100 fb~{-1}, it is possible to measure the Higgs mass to within 60 MeV (100 MeV) for m_H=100 GeV (150 GeV).
