Resumo

We compute the production cross section of the standard model Higgs by two photon processes in lead-lead collisions. We investigate several lead form factors and recently proposed impact parameter effects. No approximations are used for the underlying two photon mechanism. We also compare the Higgs signal with its main background, the two photon production of quark pairs.
