====== Finding the Light, Hidden Higgs ======

===== Abstract: =====
Precision electroweak constraints favor a Higgs with a mass near 100 GeV,
but searches at LEP and the Tevatron have so far found no evidence for
it. It is possible that the Higgs is lighter than the LEP bound of 114
GeV for the Standard Model Higgs because non-standard decays or
couplings have prevented it from appearing in standard searches. This
workshop will explore the prospects for detecting such a "hidden"
Higgs. Topics include decays to 4 b, 4 tau, missing energy + X,
multijets, and also suppressed Higgs production.
