Higgs Boson Precision Studies at a Linear Collider

Abstract

This report summarizes the progress in the study of Higgs physics at a future linear electron positron collider at center-of-mass energies up to about 1000 GeV and high luminosity. After the publication of the TESLA Technical Design Report, an extended ECFA/DESY study on linear collider physics and detectors was performed. The paper summarizes the status of the studies with main emphasis on recent results obtained in the course of the workshop.

Proceedings of the ECFA/DESY study on Physics and Detectors at a Linear Collider. Most of the work reported in this talk was done by members of the Higgs working group of the Extended ECFA/DESY Study
