WW Fusion in Higgs Production: Is it Possible in the Lab Frame?

[thoms2543]

e^- + e^+\rightarrow\overline{\nu}_e + \nu_e + H
Can it possible for this process happen in lab frame? i.e. the positron is accelerated to collide with the electron target.

if the process is allowed in one frame, it's allowed in ANY frame (that's Einstein's principle of relativity!). You can have this with the e+e- making a virtual Z, which then Higgsstrahlung's,with the Z decaying to neutrinos. It would be nearly impossible to see, though...
