Abstract

A search for the Higgs boson in final states with one, two or three isolated photons has been performed based on data taken at LEP 2 by the DELPHI detector. The data analysed correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 67.5 pb −1 at centre-of-mass energies of 161 GeV (9.7 pb −1), 172 GeV (10.1 pb −1) and 183 GeV (47.7 pb −1). No evidence for the processes e + e −→ Hγ with H→b b ̄ or γγ and e +e −→Hq q ̄ with H→ γγ was observed. Model-independent limits on σ(e +e −→Hγ)×BR(H→b b ̄ ) , σ(e +e −→Hq q ̄ )×BR(H→γγ) and σ( e + e −→ Hγ)× BR( H→ γγ) are set, as well as model-dependent limits on Higgs boson anomalous couplings to vector bosons.
