Abstract
I examine the ability of the LHC, SSC and Eloisatron hadron colliders to search for Higgs bosons in background-free purely leptonic modes. Such leptonic final state modes are surveyed for both the Standard Model Higgs scenario and a variety of non-minimal Higgs sectors (the features of which are reviewed along the way). In particular, I examine the ability of the SSC to probe exotic Higgs scenarios using purely leptonic channels, and discuss the extent to which a very high energy, high luminosity hadron collider such as the Eloisatron might be justified as a second generation SSC by virtue of its ability to employ leptonic channels to extend the SSC discovery reach or allow more detailed studies of already discovered Higgs bosons.
