Data from a 70 GeV proton-iron beam-dump experiment and the theoretical predictions of light Higgs production from the decays π ± →e ± V (∼) e H, K ± →e ± V (∼) e H, K ± →π ± H, K 0 L →π 0 H, η′→η′H were used to establish limits on the mass of a scalar Higgs boson in the context of the standard model. The mass range 1 m H c 2 was excluded at 95% CL.
