Abstract

Coherent heavy ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies can be used as a powerful source for the production of Higgs bosons within or beyond the Standard Model. The experiments at CERN could see or exclude light Higgs bosons with masses between 30 and 200 MeV. Heavy Higgs bosons with a mass of few hundred GeV can be produced in peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC and SSC, with cross sections comparable or larger than in pp collisions.
